Carrot Cake

My son is 10 years old today! Last night we had his birthday get-together and he wanted a carrot cake. So I made a carrot cake! It turned out really yummy! I put the cream cheese frosting on top.

Carrot Cake

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 cups finely shredded carrot
1 cup cooking oil
4 eggs

In a bowl combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon. Add carrot, oil and eggs. Beat with an electric mixer till combined.

Pour into prepared pan (sprayed with non-stick cooking spray). Bake in a 350* oven for 30-35 minutes or till a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool completely before frosting.

Cream Cheese Frosting

3 ounces cream cheese
1/4 cup softened butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
2-2 1/2 cups sifted powdered sugar

In a bowl beat together cream cheese, butter, and vanilla till light and fluffy. Gradually add 1 cup powdered sugar, beating well.

Gradually beat in enough remaining powdered sugar to make frosting of spreading consistancy.
