The following recipe is from the Virginia Hospitality
Cookbook.

CARROT CAKE

2 cups flour 4 eggs
2 cups sugar 3 cups carrots, shredded
2 teaspoons baking soda 1 teaspoon vanilla
2 teaspoons cinnamon 1 cup nuts, chopped (optional)
1 teaspoon salt 8 ounces crushed pineapple, drained
1 cup salad oil

Pre heat oven to 350. Sift dry ingredients together. Add
the oil and eggs one at a time. Beat until thoroughly mixed. Add
carrots and vanilla. Mix well. Pour into greased and floured 9 x
13 inch pan, and bake for 45 minutes.

Icing:

1/2 cup butter softened 1 teaspoon vanilla
1 pound confectioners' sugar 1 cup nuts, chopped
8 ounces cream cheese, softened

Mis all ingredients together. Spread on top and sides of the cake.

Note: I keep this in the 'fridge because of the cream cheese icing.

Hope you enjoy the cake.
