List of Ingredients



• 2 cups granulated sugar
  
• 2 cups self-rising flour
  
• 1 cup vegetable oil
  
• 4 large eggs
  
• 2 tsp. cinnamon
  
• 3 cups grated carrots
  
• 1(16oz.) package of powdered sugar
  
• 1 stick of softened butter
  
• 8oz. package of cream cheese
  
• 2 tsp. vanilla extract

Instructions



1. Preheat oven to 350. Grease and flour two 9" cake pans.
   
2. Combine the sugar, flour, oil, eggs, and cinnamon in a large bowl. Beat with an electric mixer set at medium speed until blended. Stir in the grated carrots.
   
3. Spoon into prepared cake pans. Bake layers until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, about 30-35 minutes. Transfer pans to wire racks; cool for 10 minutes. Turn layers onto wire racks; cool completely.
