ingredients
2 cups sugar
3 eggs
1 1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups flour
1 dash salt
2 teaspoons baking soda
3 cups fine shredded or sweet grated carrots
1 1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
Easy Frosting
8 ounces cream cheese room temperature
1/2 cup butter, at room temperature
1 pound powdered sugar or a bit more of needed
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon orange juice or a bit more if needed
1 tablespoon grated orange rind
chopped nuts (optional as garnish)
directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour two 8 inch round cake pans.
In a large bowl, beat the oil, sugar, eggs and vanilla until well combined. Mix together the grated carrots, raisins and nuts.
Combine dry ingredients and combine with the oil mixture and blend well. Stir in carrot mixture.
Divide batter into the pans. Bake about 35 minutes. If cake is browning too fast and not done baking, then cover with foil and decrease oven to 325 degrees F and bake 7 to 10 minutes longer or until tested done in center.
Cool on rack for 15 minutes then carefully remove and invert onto rack to cool completely. One may freeze the cake and frost later.
For frosting, beat all well until desired consistency. Frost layers, middle, top and sides. Garnish cake with chopped nuts if desired.
This makes a moist, dense, flavorful cake.

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).
