Marilyn's Infamous Carrot Cake

CAKE
3 c. grated carrots (about 5 carrots
4 eggs
3 tsp. cinnamon.
1 tsp. allspice
2 c. flour
2 c. sugar
1 1/2 c. salad oil
2 tsp. soda
2 Tbsp. vanilla
1 tsp. salt

Cut ingredients in at one time, except carrots. Start with dry ingredients add oil, nuts, eggs, vanilla. Add carrots to mixture last. Bake in 3 - 9" round pans. Bake at 325° for 30 min.


ICING
1 stick butter
1 - 8 oz. pkg. cream cheese
1 pkg. powdered sugar
1 c. nuts (Pecans)(toasted)

Note: There is no milk or water in this. Just mix and bake.

Icing makes ample amount for the 3 layers and all frosting.

Refrigerate the first day and it keeps for weeks. You can cut off what you need while frozen and I let thaw as you use it, 15 min. It is a large cake.
