Normally I don't attempt "from scratch" cakes. They just don't taste as good to me. However, Nikki started making this one when we were teenagers, and it is a guaranteed, tried and true awesome recipe. It doesn't take much more effort than a box mix. Use your food processor to grate the carrots to make it go even faster. I even used it to make the Groom's Cake for my wedding because it is Mike's favorite :) Frost with Cream Cheese Frosting. Makes about 10 servings.
2 c. flour
2 c. sugar
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
3 c. finely grated carrots
1 c. cooking oil
4 eggs
In a bowl combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and cinnamon. Add carrot, oil and eggs. Beat with electric mixer until combined. Pour into two greased and floured 9 x 1 1/2" round pans. Bake in a 350 oven for 30-35 min until toothpick inserted near center comes out clean. Cool on racks for 10 min, then remove from pans.
