Village Green Carrot Cake

There is nothing like carrot cake made from scratch. 
I made a delicious carrot cake for my husbands birthday.




If you want to layer the cake like I did I would suggest freezing the layers 
before stacking to frost. It is a very soft moist cake and just about fell 
apart when we stacked it up to frost it. The frosting recipe did not make 
as much as I was wanting it to so I added some powdered sugar 
and milk to make it go farther.


RECIPE:
Cream together:
  1 1/2  cup cooking oil
  2 cups sugar
  3 whole eggs
 Add:
  2  cups grated carrots
  1 cup crushed drained pineapple
Mix well:
  2 1/2 cups flour
  1 tsp soda
  1/2 tsp salt
  1 tsp vanilla
  1 tsp cinnamon

Pour into greased and floured 9x13" baking dish or two cake rounds.
Bake at 350 degrees for 45-60 min

CREAM CHEESE FROSTING:
1/2 cup butter softened
8 oz cream cheese softened 
2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla

Mix together until smooth
