2 2/3 cups sugar
2/3 cup shortening
4 eggs
2/3 cup water
2 Teaspoons Vanilla
3 1/2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons cinnamon
2 cups peeled grated carrots
2/3 cup chopped Nuts
1 teaspoon baking powder
In a large bowl cream the sugar and shortening together
(In other words take a large bowl...put the sugar in it...put the shortening in it then mush them all together to make what looks like a pasty cream)
Then add the eggs and mix well
Then add water and vanilla and mix well
Then place all dry ingredients in a separate large bowl and blend with a wire whisk
Then add the creamed ingredients to dry ingredients and mix with a whisk and a spoon
Then gently stir in grated carrots and nuts
After mixing well put the mixed ingredients in a well greased, tube pan, 13 x 9 x 2 pan, or two loaf pans
Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for about 55 minuets.
You may top the carrot cake with a creme cheese frosting if you wish.
Enjoy,
Eiregirl

Love carrot cake Eire:

Am I supposed to cream the sugar and shortening or is there cream in the recipe? I do not see cream on the ingredients list.

kajo,
Sorry I have not checked here for a week or so...
I left off a word...sorry about that
It should read...In a large bowl put the cream sugar and shortening together...in other words mix them together real good...sorry about leaving that word out
It is good to spread some cream cheese on it to eat it _________________ All poems and stories posted by Eiregirl are

oohh....ya...what's cream sugar? is there supposed to be a comma or is there another ingredient with the sugar? _________________ "it ISNT porn its EROTICA there IS a difference" --Wolfie
"In a large bowl put the cream sugar and shortening"
Let me see if I can say that so it makes more sense...
In a large bowl cream the sugar and shortening together
In other words take a large bowl...put the sugar in it...put the shortening in it then mush them all together to make what looks like a pasty cream
I hope that clears that little misunderstanding up
Hugs,
