• Pre-heat oven to 350°F.
• For one 3-layer cake: grease (with butter) and flour three 8 or 9 inch cake pans. (For ~24 cupcakes: prepare cupcake pans with paper liners.).
• Grate Carrots (by hand or with food processor) and set aside.
• In a separate bowl sift together the dry ingredients: Sugar, Flour, Baking Soda, Cinnamon, and Salt and set aside.
• In mixer bowl, add Eggs and Wesson Oil. Mix at medium speed until eggs and oil are blended.
• Continue mixing eggs and oil at medium speed and gradually add dry ingredients. Mix at medium speed to a batter consistency.
• Continue mixing at medium speed and gradually add grated Carrots to batter. Mix until Carrots are evenly distributed. (The batter may look a little "thinner" than normal cake batter.).
• For a cake - divide batter evenly between the 3 cake pans. Bake cake at 350 F for 25-30 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. For cupcakes - fill liners to the top. Bake cupcakes at 350 F for 30-35 minutes. Check a few cupcakes with a toothpick to insure they are done. NOTE: For both the cake and cupcakes there will be a bit of shrinkage as they cool to room temperature.
• Remove from oven and let cool to room temperature - usually 1 to 2 hours.
