Carrot Cake

Ingredients

• •2 cups flour
• •2 tsp cinnamon
• •1 tsp baking soda
• •1/2 tsp ground ginger
• •1/4 tsp nutmeg
• •3 eggs
• •1 cup vegetable oil
• •1 1/2 cups sugar
• •3 cups grated carrots
• •1/2 cup crushed pineapple, drained
• •1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
• •8 oz cream cheese, softened
• •1/2 cup butter, softened
• •3 cups powdered sugar
• •1 tsp vanilla extract

Steps

1. 1.Preheat oven to 350°F and grease two cake pans.
2. 2.Whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, ginger, and nutmeg.
3. 3.In another bowl, beat the eggs, oil, and sugar together, then fold in the grated carrots, drained pineapple, and walnuts.
4. 4.Combine the wet and dry ingredients and divide between the pans.
5. 5.Bake for 30-35 minutes, then cool completely.
6. 6.Beat the cream cheese and butter together until smooth, then beat in the powdered sugar and vanilla until fluffy - creaming the cream cheese and butter first, before the sugar, is what keeps the frosting from turning weepy.
