Anne Walker's Killer Carrot Cake

Here's the best (BEST!!!) Carrot Cake recipe I ever had the privilige of receiving. The use of baby food carrots really makes for a cake that is heavenly smooth. Thanks to Elana for providing a copy to me all those years ago in Chapel Hill!

Anne Walker's Killer Carrot Cake
Beat Together:
4 eggs
2 cups sugar
1 1/2 cups oil (vegetable, canola)
Add to this:
12 oz baby food carrots (2 big jars)
Blend thoroughly, then sift in:
2 cups flour
2 tsp baking soda
3 tsp cinnamon
Mix to incorporate. If desired, add 1/2-1 cup chopped walnuts (be sure to mix well).
Bake at 350 F for 30-40 minutes in one 9x13x2" pan (ungreased). Cool and frost with cream cheese frosting.

Cream Cheese Frosting
Beat together until creamy:

1 8-oz package cream cheese
4 TBSP melted margarine
2 tsp vanilla
2 cups powdered sugar
This frosting is gooey and sticky so you can't really pipe it, but it sure tastes wonderful!
