2 c. flour
2 c. sugar
3 c. grated carrots
1 c. oil
2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. cinnamon
4 eggs
1 c. nuts

Combine ingredients with an electric mixer, adding eggs, one at a time, and carrots and nuts last. Pour into a greased and floured pan. Bake at 325 degrees for 1 hour.

FROSTING:

3 oz. cream cheese
1 c. powdered sugar
2 tbsp. shortening
1/4 tsp. almond extract

Blend ingredients. Cake may be frosted while warm. This is enough frosting for a very thin layer which seems to be all the cake needs.
