Here are two, one for microwaving and a standard one (both are good):

Microwave Carrot Cake

2 cups finely shredded carrot
2 eggs 1 cup sugar
3/4 cup vegetable oil
1 teasp vanilla
1 1/4 cups flour
2 teasp cinnamon
2 teasp mixed spice
1 teasp bicarb soda

Mix eggs, oil, sugar and vanilla, then add carrot and combined sifted
dry ingredients. I usually add a good handful of sultanas (white
raisins) and sometimes a small tin of well-drained crushed pineapple or
pineapple slivers.

Microwave in a greased microwaveable ring pan. I use a Tupperware
Jell-Ring and although technically they're not supposed to be
microwaved, it's still fine after dozens of uses. If you don't have a
ring, then improvise with a round dish with a glass in the middle. Put
a greased circle of paper over the top and microwave on high for 8-12
minutes (check after 8). The top should be dry and a skewer will come
out clean. Leave in pan 5 minutes before turning out.

Mrs Bishop's Carrot Cake:

1 1/2 cups vegetable oil
3 eggs
2 teasp vanilla
2 cups sugar
2 cups finely grated carrot
1/2 cup chopped nuts (I prefer pecans)
1/2 cup sultanas (white raisins)
1 small tin crushed pineapple or pineapple slims
Sift together:
3 cups flour
2 teasp bicarb soda
2 teasp cinnamon

Cream oil and sugar, add eggs. Add carrots, nuts, sultanas, pineapple
and vanilla. Stir in dry ingredients. Bake in a greased 10" angel food
cake tin (about 7" deep) or in two loaf tins, at 350F/180C for about 50
mins.

This is an old recipe for carrot cake, from the 40's, when no one cared about
fat in their diet and cholesterol was an unheard of word! But it's a wonderful
recipe, even if you can't make it too often, as as a bonus, is super easy.
Enjoy!

~Emma

Midge Hagerty's Carrot Cake

3 cups flour

This sound like a great recipe. For a low cholesterol/low fat alternative, I
would just replace the oil with a fruit based oil substitute (Smucker's makes a
great one in a squeezable bottle) and cut the egg amount in half and use an egg
substitute for the balance.

Title: Carrot Cake (Microwave)
Categories: Microwave, Cakes
Yield: 16 Servings

1/4 c Graham-cracker crumbs
2 1/4 c Flour
1 tb Ground cinnamon
2 ts Baking soda
1 ts Ground nutmeg
3/4 ts Salt
2 c Granulated sugar
1 1/2 c Vegetable oil
3 lg Eggs
5 c Shredded carrots (1-1/4
-lbs.)

FROM: Shelley Rodgers (Jolly Rodgers:the Portuguese Pirate!
(1:161/202))

The conventional version of this recipe came from Mary Dorcas Walker
of Phoenix, AZ. The microwave version is moister, lighter and rises
higher because the air inside a microwave oven rremains at room
temperature. The hot, dry air of a conventional oven bakes a crust
around the outside of a cake that holds in its volume. As Jill Crum,
director of the Microwave Cooking Library's test kitchen, says, "To
convert for microwaving, you usually need todecrease liquid and
increase fat, but this cake is rich in eggs and oil and has no
additional liquid, so the proportions don't have to be changed." This
holds true for pudding cakes in the microwave, too.

confectioners' sugar, for topping

Lightly spray a 12-cup plastic fluted tube pan with vegetable cooking
spray. Add crumbs; tilt and rotate pan to cover bottom and sides;
shake out excess crumbs. Mix flour, cinnamon, baking soda, nutmeg
and salt.

In a large bowl beat sugar, oil and eggs with wooden spoonuntil
blended. Stir in caarrots and nuts, then flour mixture until well
blended. Pour into prepared pan.

Place pan on an inverted glass plate or plastic trivet in microwave
oven. Rotating pan a quarter turn twice, microwave on medium-high
18-22 minutes, until a pick inserted in cente rof cake comes out
clean. (If using transparent pan, lift and check bottom,; cake should
look dry.) Moist spots on surface will dry while cake is standing.

Cool in pan directly on flat heatproof surface 10 minutes. Cake
should pull away from sides and tube of pan. run a thin-bladed
spatula around sides and tube to loosen cake. Invert onto a rack;
remove pan and cool completely. Dust top with confectioners' sugar.

Makes 16 servngs.

Title: Peter Rabbit Carrot Cake - Martha Stewart Living
Categories: Cakes, Publication
Yield: 30 Servings

Carrot Cake (separate
-recipe)
Cream Cheese Icing (separate
-recipe)
1 7-oz tube of marzipan
Assorted food colorings
8 oz Oreo cookies, crushed in a
Food processor

1. Make carrot cakes as directed and let cool to room temperature.

2. Make icing as directed. Position cakes side by side so that their
long sides are touching, and ice as one cake, setting aside 1 C of
icing for decorating.

3. To make pickets for garden fence, roll out half the marzipan to
1/16" thickness. Cut into even strips about 1/2" wide by 3" long,
making pointed ends for tops of pickets. Keep marzipan covered with a
damp cloth when not in use.

4. To make vegetables, form golf-ball-size pieces out of remaining
marzipan. With a toothpick, add a dab of food coloring to each ball
and knead with fingers until color is well mixed. Mold marzipan into
vegetable shapes, such as tomatoes, eggplants, cars of corn,
cabbages, and pumpkins.

5. Cut garden paths out of lightweight cardboard and place on cake.

6. Sprinkle crushed Oreos on cake and press into frosting with a
spoon. With spoon, clear crumbs from cardboard garden paths and
remove cardboard. Fill a pastry bag with icing and, with a zigzag
tip, pipe over paths.

7. Build fence by pressing pickets into icing on all sides of cake,
leaving space for an entrance. Group each variety of vegetables in a
different section of the garden to create vegetable patches. Chill
cake briefly.

8. Place entire cake in a large basket and surround with fresh, clean,
unsprayed grass.

Here is a recipe, developed young man here in the Detroit area. With
this recipe, he won a $10,000 scholarship to Johnson and Wales
College, which is considered a top-notch cooking school, located in
Charleston, SC. This young man, Andre Black, spent 2 weeks
developing this recipe, this cake was among the top 19 recipes chosen
<out of 270> as winners. Andre was on the front page of the Detroit
News yesterday, along with the recipe. The Detroit News food writer,
Robin Mather says "For a Carrot Cake, this is a hell of a fruit cake.
She found this cake suited to 3 8" layers. Preheat oven to 350.
Grease and flour three 8" layer pans. Combine eggs, sugar and oil.
Beat on high speed until creamy and thick, 3-5 minutes. Sift together
flour, cinnamon, salt and baking soda. Slowly add 1/3 of the dry
ingredients to egg mixture; beat well. Repeat with remaining dry
ingredients, beating well after each addition. Batter will be
extreamly stiff; it may be necessary to blend with a spatula or
spoon. One by one, fold in carrots, coconut, pineapple, walnuts and
raisins. Divide batter between the 3 prepared cake pans. Bake at 350
for 40-45 minutes, arranging cake pans in oven once. The cake is
done when the tester inserted in center comes out clean. Let cake
cool in pans 5 minutes. Turn out onto rack to cool completely.

When cakes are cool, prepare frosting: combine margarine, cream
cheese, sugar and vanilla. Beat until smooth. Frost cake.

* Andre's original recipe, written in professional baking terms,
calls for 6 oz beaten eggs, 15 1/2 oz of sugar, and 12 oz cake flour

1 ts Vanilla extract
1 c Macadamia nuts; toasted &
. finely chopped
. *OR* pecans

The CAKE ** Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 10x3-inch
round cake pan. Line the bottom with a circle of parchment or wax
paper. Grease the paper and lightly flour.

Sift together 1 3/4 cups plus 2 Tbsp flour, baking soda, cinnamon and
salt. In a large mixing bowl, combine the oil, sugar and eggs. With
an electric mixer, beat at medium speed until light in color, about 3
to 4 minutes. At low speed, gradually add the flour mixture, beating
just until smooth. Combine the carrots, nuts, raisins and the
remaining 2 Tbsp flour. Gently fold into the batter. Pour the batter
into the prepared cake pan. Bake for 20 minutes, then reduce the heat
to 325 degrees and bake for 50 to 55 minutes longer, or until a
toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean and the surface
springs back when gently pressed with a finger. Cool in the pan on a
wire rack for 15 minutes. Run knife around the sides of the cake pan
to loosen. Turn the cake out (re-inverting onto another rack) and
cool completely, paper-side down.

The PINEAPPLE FILLING** In a medium saucepan, combine the pineapple
and sugar. Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the
pineapple is tender, about 15 to 20 minutes. Combine the pineapple
juice and cornstarch and stir into the cooked pineapple; boil for 1
minute, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat; stir in the
vanilla. Cool. (This can be made a day ahead and chilled, covered, in
the refrigerator.)

The CREAM CHEESE ICING** In a medium bowl, with an electric mixer,
beat together the cream cheese and butter. Add the sugar and vanilla;
beat until smooth.

To Assemble The Cake: Peel the paper off bottom of cake. Using a long
serrated knife, slice the cake horizontally into 3 layers. Remove the
top 2 layers (it helps to use a cardboard cake circle or a flat
cookie sheet to slide under the cut layers and lift off).

Place the bottom cake layer on a 10-inch cardboard cake circle or
serving plate. Spread the pineapple filling over the cake layer.
Place the middle layer of the cake on top of the filling and spread
with a thin layer of icing. Place the top layer of cake, top-side-up,
on the icing. Spread the remaining icing evenly over the sides and
top of the cake. Press chopped, toasted nuts into the sides of the
cake.

Variation for Three 9-inch Cake Pans: Prepare three 9x1 1/2-inch cake
pans as described previously. Mix the cake and pour the batter into
the prepared cake pans (about 2 cups of batter in each). Bake at 350
degrees for 28 to 30 minutes. Cool and turn out the cakes as
instructed previously

To Assemble Cake: Peel paper off bottom of cake layers. Place 1 layer
on a serving plate. Spread pineapple filling over cake layer. Place
second layer on top of filling and spread about 1 cup of icing over
cake layer. Top with third layer and spread remaining icing evenly
over sides and top of cake. Press chopped, toasted nuts onto sides of
cake.

5 Eggs; separated
275 g Sugar
1 Lemon; juice
2 Lemons; zest, grated
250 g Almonds; ground
300 g Carrots; finely grated
75 g Cornflour

The Story:

The cultivation of vegetables in Aargau is one of the main reasons
for the existence of a thriving canning/bottling industry. In this
area, the carrot is the Queen of all vegetables and it has attributes
which allow it to be used everywhere, even in desserts.

This carrot cake is now a Swiss classic, its reputation having been
extended long ago far beyond the borders of the canton. Some maintain
that the cake is better two days after baking as the carrots keep it
moist.

The Recipe:

Beat together the egg yolks, sugar, lemon juice and lemon zest, until
light.

Add the finely grated carrots and the almonds.

Mix in the cornflour, cinnamon, ground cloves and baking powder. Then
add the kirsch.

Mix or beat until smooth.

Beat the egg whites until stiff and carefully fold in.

Butter a tin (24 cm diameter, 5 cm high), dust with flour. Turn the
mixture into the tin.

Bake in the oven for 50 ... 60 minutes at 180 oC.

When cooked, brush the cake with a hot apricot glaze and thin fondant
icing. Decorate with small marzipan carrots.

Title: Luby's Carrot Cake
Categories: Cakes
Yield: 4 Servings

MMMMM-----------------------MM BY THE MOM----------------------------
3 Extra-large eggs
1 1/2 c Granulated sugar
1 1/3 c Canned crushed pineapple,
Drained
1 1/3 c Carrots, shredded or finely
Chopped
1 c Vegetable oil
1/2 c Pecan pieces
1 1/2 ts Baking powder
1 ts Baking soda
1 ts Ground cinnamon
1 ts Vanilla extract
2 1/2 c All-purpose flour
ICING:
1 c Butter or margarine,
Softened
1 lb Powdered sugar
4 oz Cream cheese, softened
1/2 ts Vanilla extract
Pecans
Carrots, finely chopped

Preheated the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease 2, 9-inch round
cake pans.

TO MAKE THE CAKE: In a large bowl, beat together the eggs and
granulated sugar until blended. Add the pineapple, carrots, oil, the
1/2 cup of pecan pieces, the baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon,
and the 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Beat until well blended. Add
the flour. Mix until well blended. Pour the batter into the
prepared cake pans.

In a preheated oven, bake the cake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick
inserted into the middle of each layer comes out clean. Cool on wire
cooling racks.

TO MAKE THE ICING: In a medium bowl, beat together the
butter/margarine and powdered sugar until creamy. Add the cream
cheese and vanilla extract. Beat the mixture until smooth and creamy.
Fill between the layers and ice the outside of the cake. Garnish
with the pecans and carrots.

Makes 1, 9-inch layer cake.

TIPS: Allow the cake to cool completely before icing.

Place the bottom layer of the cake upside-down side up on the plate
and the top layer right-side up, for the best shape.

Lightly brush the cake to remove any loose crumbs.

Spread a thin layer of the icing on the sides of the cake to "set" any
remaining crumbs before icing the entire cake.

Title: Helen's Carrot Cake
Categories: Cakes
Yield: 12 Servings

4 Eggs, separated
1 1/2 c Sugar
1 c Carrots, grated
1 c Walnuts, finely grated
1 1/2 c Flour
1 ts Baking powder
1/4 ts Nutmeg
1/2 ts Cinnamon
1 ts Vanilla extract
1 pn Salt
1 c Oil
2 1/2 ts Water, hot
1/2 ts Baking soda

MMMMM--------------------------FILLING-------------------------------
8 oz Cream cheese
1/2 c Sugar
1/2 c Jam (strawberry,
-apricot or raspberry)

MMMMM--------------------------FROSTING-------------------------------
1 c Whipping cream
2 tb Sugar

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Cream together egg yolks and about 1
cup of the sugar until the yolk color lightens. Stir in carrots,
nuts, flour, baking powder, nutmeg, cinnamon, vanilla, salt and oil.
Mix together hot water and soda and stir into flour mixture.

Beat egg whites until foamy. Gradually add remaining sugar. Beat
until stiff and glossy. Fold egg white mixture into flour mixture.

Turn mixture into a greased pan, 13 x 9-inch, lined with greased wax
paper and bake for 45 minutes or until done. Cool. Slice in half
horizontally, to form two layers.

Make the cream cheese filling: soften the cream cheese and beat in
the sugar, mixing gradually, until the filling is smooth and fluffy.
A food processor works well for this.

Cover bottom layer with cream cheese filling, then cover cream cheese
layer with jam. Place the top layer of the cake carefully on top of
the jam.

Make the frosting: beat the whipping cream until slightly stiff,
then add the sugar and beat the mixture to stiff peaks. Frost the
entire cake with whipped cream.

NOTES:

* Carrot cake with cream cheese filling -- I got this recipe
originally from _The Oregonian_ in Portland, Oregon.

: Difficulty: easy to moderate.
: Time: 30 minutes preparation, 1 hour baking and cooling, 10 minutes
frosting.
: Precision: measure the ingredients.

your own. Simply boil 1 cup water with 1 cup sugar, without stirring,
for 5 minutes. Add 2 heaping cups cranberries, cover, and simmer 5 to
