Carrot Cake

This is another recipe that My Man brought home from work. Talk about a bunch of women who know how to cook! I've gotten more good recipes this way... anyway, this cake is good. Real good.

Carrot Cake

4 eggs
2 cups sugar
1 1/2 cups oil
2 t baking soda
1 t salt
2 t cinnamon
2 cups flour
3 small jars carrot baby food

Preheat to 350.

Beat eggs, add sugar and beat, add oil and beat. Sift together flour, salt, baking soda and cinnamon, add to wet ingredients and beat on low. When incorporated, add carrot baby food and beat on low. Pour into bar pan and bake. Cool before frosting.

My all time favorite Cream Cheese frosting looks like this (Wilton's):

1 cup butter (2 sticks)
2 8 oz bricks cream cheese
2 lbs powdered sugar (approx. 8 cups)
2 T milk
1 T orange juice

In a medium bowl mix butter and cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar, milk and juice. Beat on high until smooth. It's usually thin enough to ice as is.
