How To Make carrot cake
-
Step 1Cream butter and sugar thoroughly with mixer. Add eggs and beat till mixture is smooth and silky, looking like mayonnaise and falls in ribbons from spoon. Beat in carrots.
-
Step 2Combine dry ingredients, sift and fold into carrot mixture by hand. Add vanilla. Spoon batter into 2 greased & floured 9" pans- no more than 3/4 full. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes. Cool in pan for 5 minutes then remove to cake rack, carefully.

Step 3For frosting: Put butter and cream cheese in the bowl of a mixer. Process till mixture is smooth and free of lumps. Add confectioner, salt and vanilla. Mix till smooth. To achieve a stiffer consistency, if desired, add more confectioners' sugar or chill.
