Recipe Introduction

These cakes made great gifts! They are different than the usual fruitcake. Carrots add another flavor and texture! You'll need 4 one pound coffee cans for this.

List of Ingredients

3 beaten eggs
1/2 cup oil
1/2 cup milk
2-1/2 cups flour
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups shredded carrot
1-1/3 cups flaked coconut
1/2 cup snipped marashino cherries

1/2 cup raisins

1/2 cup chopped nuts ( your choice )



Recipe

Combine eggs, oil and milk. Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, soda, cinnamon and salt; add egg mixture. Mix until just moistened. Stir in remaining ingredients. Spoon into 4 well greased and floured 1 pound cans. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 to 50 minutes. Let set about 10 minutes before removing from cans.

Serving Suggestions
For gift giving, wrap in clear plastic and tie a ribbon on.
