Received this recipe from someone at a family BBQ about 50 years ago and have been making it ever since. It's moist. I don't use the frosting but sometimes sprinkle with powdered sugar.

How To Make carrot cake

Step 1

Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix well. spread in a 9x13 greased pan.

Step 2

Bake in 350 degree oven about 45-50 minutes. (I usually check at 45 minutes and then every 5 minutes...sometimes it takes 50-60 minutes depending on your oven)
Step 3

For the frosting, blend margarine and cream cheese well. Add sugar and mix. Then add nuts and pineapple. (this frosting recipe came with the cake recipe, but I don't use it.)
