    3 cups all-purpose flour (sift before measuring)
    2 tsp baking powder
    1 tsp baking soda
    2 tsp ground cinnamon
    1 tsp salt
    2 cups granulated sugar
    1 1/2 cups salad oil
    4 eggs
    3 cups grated carrots

    Recipe



    TO MAKE THE CAKE:
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease well and flour three (9x1 1/2-inch) round layer cake pans.

    Sift flour with baking powder, soda, cinnamon and salt; set aside.

    In large mixing bowl, with electric mixer at medium speed, beat granulated sugar, salad oil and eggs until well blended, about 2 minutes. Add carrots; mix well.

    At low speed, gradually add flour mixture, heating just until well combined. Batter will be thin. Pour batter into prepared pans, dividing evenly.

    Bake 30-35 minutes or until cake tests done. Cool in pans 10 minutes. Carefully loosen sides with spatula; remove from pan. Cool completely on racks.

    TO MAKE THE WHIPPED-CREAM FROSTING:
    In medium bowl, whip cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until stiff. Refrigerate if not using at once.

    TO ASSEMBLE THE CAKE:
    Put layers together with whipped-cream frosting, 3/4 cup for each layer. Frost side and top. Arrange pecan halves on top.

    Refrigerate 1 hour before serving. Store leftovers in refrigerator.

    Servings: 10
