Directions

  1. Sift dry ingredients together into mixing bowl Add in oil and blend together by hand Add in large eggs then beat with mixer Add in carrots then mix together on low speed. The mix will be very thick-need strong mixer.Prepare 3 round cake pans by spreading solid shortening on bottom & sides of pans. I also cut a round piece of wax paper the size of the pan and space it in bottom of pan. Spread shortening on the wax paper. Dust lightly with flour. This keeps cake from sticking.
  2. Pour mix into pans and bake at 350 degrees till hard. Cake will be dark due to the cinnamon.
  3. Cool cake completely before frosting with icing
  4. Mix confectioners sugar, cream cheese and vanilla together with mixer till well blended. Pour in pecans and mix by hand.Spread thick amount of icing between each layer and on the sides of your cake.
  5. Note: Icing recipe can be doubled if you prefer a good amount of icing.
  6. OPTIONS: You can add in minced canned pineapple (well liquid removed) and raisins to the cake batter. I never do. My family likes it best without these.
  7. This is the recipe my mama always used at Christmas and it is the best.
