By MLou10

Ingredients

• Cream Cheese Frosting:
• 4 eggs
• 2 cups sugar
• 1 1/2 cups vegetable oil
• 3 small jars carrot baby food (or 1 1/2 cups finely pureed, cooked carrots)
• 2 cups flour
• 2 tsp.baking soda
• 1 tsp. salt
• 3 tsp. cinnamon
• 4-oz. cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 tsp. Pure Vanilla Extract
• 1/2 cup butter
• 1 3/4 cups sifted powdered sugar

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350'. In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs, sugar, oil and baby food until well blended. Fold in the flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Pour the batter into a jelly roll pan (11x17) and bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 mins. or until the center springs back when touched. Cool before frosting. A regular 9x13 pan can be used but then it will be more cake-like instead of bar-like.



Cream Cheese Frosting:

Blend all the ingredients until smooth. Spread on the cooled carrot bars. let the frosting "set" before cutting into bars.
