Description

A deliciously moist carrot cake topped with cream cheese frosting.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 Eggs
  • 2 ½ Cups Flour
  • 2 Cups Sugar
  • 2 teaspoons Baking Soda
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 ½ Cups Vegetable Oil

  • 1 Package Cream Cheese (8 oz)
  • ½ Cup Butter (1 stick)
  • 4 Cups Powdered Sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon Vanilla

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease and flour a 9×13″ baking pan.
