Ingredients

• Frosting:
• 2 cups sugar
• 1 1/2 cup crisco oil
• 4 eggs
• 3 cups grated carrots
• 2 cups flour
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 tsp baking soda
• 2 tsp cinnamon
• raisins
• walnuts
• 8 oz. cream cheese softened
• 1/2 cup butter softened
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• 4 cups powdered sugar

Preparation

Step 1

Cream crisco and sugar. Add eggs one at a time and beat well after each(this is relly important) Sift flour, soda, salt, and cinnamon. Add dry ingredients slowly. Add grated carrots last of all with a spoonful at a time. I add raisins and walnuts at the end. Bake in a greased and floured 12x15 pan at 350 for at least an hour.
Frosting:
Beat together cream cheese, butter, and vanilla. Add powdered sugar gradually until thick enough to spread.
