Mom’s Carrot Cake

My Mom made the best Carrot Cake ever and today I’m going to share her recipe with you 🙂 Brought back a lot of memories yesterday when I made this 🙂 This recipe has been enjoyed by lots of family and friends over the years.

• 2 cups flour
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1 1/2 cup oil
• 4 eggs (beaten)
• 1 c coconut
• 2 c sugar
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 3 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 cup walnuts (i don’t put them in as no one likes them in my house)
• 2 cups grated carrots
• 1 can crushed pineapple, drained

Mix together sugar, oil, and eggs. Add dry ingredients and mix well. Add carrots, pineapple, and coconut, and walnuts. Pour into lightly greased 9×13 or I use a fluted tube pan and make 12 muffins when I do. They freeze really well too 🙂
Bake at 350 for 40-45 min or till done

Once completely cooled ice with Icing:

Cream Cheese Icing

• 1 pack of cream cheese (softened)
• 1/4 cups butter (soft)
• 2 cups icing sugar
• 1/2 tsp Vanilla

Mix together and beat with beaters until light and fluffy. Spread on well-cooled carrot cake
