Shabby Apple’s Carrot Cake.
Posted on January 12, 2011 by admin
I never thought I’d enjoy eating carrot cake, but I do. Hopefully soon I can whip up my very own carrot cake.
Shabby Apple’s Carrot Cake
4 eggs
1 1/4 cups vegetable oil
2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
3 cups grated carrots
Frosting:
1/2 cup butter, softened
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
4 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease and flour a 9×13 pan. In a large bowl or mixer, beat together eggs, oil, sugar and vanilla. In a separate bowl, mix together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix together. Stir in the shredded carrots.
Pour batter into prepared pan and bake at 350 degrees for 40/50 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Invert to wire rack and cool completely.
While the cake is cooling, mix together all frosting ingredients in a medium-sized bowl. Beat until frosting is smooth and creamy. Spread over cooled cake. Enjoy.
