<RecipeText>2 packed cups grated carrots

Mix gently and not too long

I add raisins and walnuts - sometimes I add walnuts and pecans...whatever you like

Bake in a greased 9X13 at 350 for 40-50 min.

Icing:

The recipe calls for 8oz cream cheese, 1/2 cup butter, 1 tsp vanilla, 3 cups icing sugar.

I usually change it a bit: a brick of 8oz cream cheese plus a third of another brick, 1/3 cup butter, 1 tsp vanilla, 2 1/2 cups icing sugar

***This freezes very well. Sometimes I make muffins instead of a cake to freeze, and then I also freeze the icing. Then I take them out a couple of hours before I need them, and I can quickly ice some cupcakes.
***The carrot cake also makes nice muffins without the icing.

Enjoy!
