Grandma's Old fashioned Carrot Cake is the ultimate indulgent dessert! The carrot cake keeps moist from freshly shaved carrots while the sweet cream cheese frosting balances out the flavors to make for an irresistible piece (or two!) of carrot cake!
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a 9x13 pan with non-stick spray and set aside.
Use a cheese grater to finely shred carrots. Set aside.
In a bowl combine sugar, oil, and eggs. Once mixed well, add in flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Continue to mix for about 4 minutes. Fold in carrots and nuts.
Add mixture to baking dish and evenly spread out batter. Place in oven to bake for 40 minutes or until you can poke in a toothpick and it comes out clean.
While baking, begin making cream cheese frosting. In a large bowl cream together oleo, cream cheese, and vanilla. Once creamed together slowly mix in powdered sugar in small increments.
Allow carrot cake to fully cool, then top with frosting. Enjoy!
Notes
If you do not allow cake to fully cool before adding the frosting, it will just melt right off!
