The BEST Carrot Cake

[LadyHawk108]

Icing:

1 stick butter or margarine (softened)
2 - 3oz pkgs cream cheese (softened)
1 box powdered sugar
2 tsp. vanilla
chopped nuts (if desired)

Cake:

3 egss beaten
1 1/4 c. vegetable oil
2 c. sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
2 tsp. soda
2 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. salt
1 sm. pkg coconut
2 c. shredded carrots
1 c. chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)
1 sm. can crushed pineapple with syrup (don't drain)

Mix the cake ingredients together and bake at 350 degrees for 50 minutes . When cake cools, cream icing ingredients together and spread over cake. This cake is very moist. It is my great aunt's recipe and I've never had any better!

Yes, on the grate setting. Or you can just use a cheese grater. They are easy to do.

Thanks, LadyHawk! Printed for posterity.
I guess I have to buy fresh carrots and send them through my processor.....right?
