CARROT CAKE 
2 c. sugar (may use a little less)
2 c. flour
1 1/4 c. vegetable oil
4 eggs
3 jars strained baby food carrots (7 oz.)
2 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. baking soda
2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 to 3/4 c. walnuts, chopped (optional)
1 can drained, crushed pineapple (small can, optional)

Mix sugar, oil, eggs, and carrots in large mixing bowl. Sift dry ingredients together and mix with wet ingredients. Add walnuts and pineapple. Grease tube pan or two 9 inch pans. Bake at 350 degree oven. Tube pan for 45 to 60 minutes and for layer pans 25 to 35 minutes. May frost with following cream cheese frosting.

CREAM CHEESE FROSTING:

Soften 1 stick of butter and 8 ounces of cream cheese. Beat them together until creamy. Add one pound box of confectioners sugar and 2 teaspoons vanilla. This makes enough for both layers and tube cake!

This is a different recipe because, using baby food carrots, it comes out very pretty!
