Okay guys and gals, the cake is in the oven. I used an old old old recipe I found in my desk. It is a Mimiograph copy....anyone remember mimeograph??? My folks were teachers, and this is my Mom's recipe for 14 Carot Cake. I remember her making it when I was little. OMG on the amount of salt and oil! Here is the Recipe, right down to the color and tried to match the print from the typewriter....remember them?
Into large mixing bowl sift the following:
2 cups flour
2 cups sugar
2 tsp soda
2 tsp salt
2 tsp soda
Add 4 eggs one at a time, 1 1/2 cooking oil, 3 cups grated raw carrots, mix until light and fluffy.
Bake in three layers, in 350 oven, 25 -30 minutes.
Icing" 1 box powdered sugar, 1 8-oz pakg. cream cheese, 1 stick margerine, 1 cup cocconut, mix till light and fluffy.
I havent made the frosting yet, but now...I dont know how to spell carrot. My mom was an english teacher, but when she wrote this she was not teaching at the time. Wonder if she even proof read it. I got hammered all the time with my spelling when growing up...double letters were my worst.
Fyi, the batter is not gonna get "light and fluffy". The frosting prolly will tho, if I mix it long enough. Just took them out, dang.....it has been so freaking long since I made a cake (husband usually makes cakes if cake is needed,:rofl: I put my time in with hundreds of cupcakes and cookies) Got to say they dont look like I remember last I cooked this recipe. Maybe I tried to hard to get it "light and fluffy". And the cake did not pull away from the pan....oh me, oh my, this may be a crumble carrot cake.
