Carrot Cake

I got this recipe from a girl I worked with at RE/MAX. We were both working at the front desk at that time and I was having Ryan's sister and her family over for dinner and needed a fall dessert. She gave me this carrot cake recipe and it's been a family favourite ever since. Thanks Deidre!
*Unfortunately I do not have any photos of the cake as it was eaten before I could take some! Next time I make the cake I will update the post with some photos.

Ingredients

• 2 cups flour
• 2 cups sugar
• 2 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 teaspoon cinnamon
• dash of nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup canola oil
• 4 eggs
• 3 cups of carrot, shredded
• 1 teaspoon vanilla

Heat oven to 350 degrees.

Combine the dry ingredients. Beat in carrots, eggs and vanilla. Pour into greased and floured 13X9 pan. Bake 30-45 minutes.

You can't have carrot cake without cream cheese frosting! Here is the frosting recipe:

• 1 package cream cheese, softened
• 1/4 cup of butter, softened
• 2 cups icing sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Beat until smooth. Spread on cooled cake.
