Carrot Cake

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 Arrow

Edited to clear up what to do with the sugar and shortening

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. Confused

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 Smile

"In a large bowl put the cream sugar and shortening"

Let me see if I can say that so it makes more sense... Very Happy

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 Very Happy

Hugs,
