\"\"<\/p>\n

Thanksgiving, Easter, birthdays, any special occasion you could think of my mom would be found in the kitchen the night before baking this cake. Growing up I always played sous chef for her, so I have no idea how many times I\u2019ve made this cake by now. It\u2019s a very sweet and very delicious dessert year round, and it\u2019s easier to make than one might think.<\/p>\n

Cake<\/p>\n

\u20222 cups flour<\/p>\n

\u20222 cups sugar<\/p>\n

\u20221 tsp baking powder<\/p>\n

\u20221 tsp baking soda<\/p>\n

\u20221 tsp ground cinnamon<\/p>\n

\u20223 cups finely shredded carrots<\/p>\n

\u20221 cup cooking oil<\/p>\n

\u20224 eggs<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Icing<\/p>\n

\u2022(2) 3oz. packages cream cheese<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00bd cup softened margarine or butter<\/p>\n

\u20222 tsp vanilla<\/p>\n

\u20222-4 cups sifted powdered sugar<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Cake<\/p>\n

In a bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and cinnamon. Add carrots, oil, and eggs. Beat with electric mixer until combined. Pour into greased and floured baking pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. If using a Bundt cake pan, cook time is closer to 50 minutes. Cool on wire racks for 10 minutes. Remove from pan, and cool thoroughly.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Icing In a bowl, beat together cream cheese, margarine, and vanilla until light and fluffy. Gradually add 2 cups powdered sugar, beating well.
