Mums Baby Food Carrot Cake Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Mix eggs, sugar and oil together. Sift together and add dry ingredients to wet mix, then vanilla. Fold in carrots.
• 2. Bake in preheated 350° oven in a lightly greased and floured 9 x 13 pan for 40 to 45 minutes.
• 3. Cool completely before frosting with your favourite such as cream cheese, butter cream or simple french vanilla frostings. I use canned frostings for the very sporadic times I bake cakes. Mum would make her icing from scratch.

• 3. In large mixing bowl, place sugar, oil and eggs Beat at medium high speed with electric mixer until light and fluffy Add in carrots and continue to beat until thoroughly mixed
• 4. Add flour mixture 1/3 at a time as you continue to beat. Continue adding flour mixture until all is transferred to oil/sugar/egg/carrot mixture Beat until batter is smooth and of custard consistency Transfer into cake pans equally
• 5. Place pans in preheated oven and bake 30-35 minutes until toothpick inserted in middle comes out clean. Turn out on cooling rack When cake is completely cool, ice with frosting below
