Beths Carrot Cake Recipes

SISTER BETH'S CARROT CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan.
• Whisk vegetable oil, white sugar, eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract together in a bowl until smooth.
• Combine flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl.
• Stir oil mixture into flour mixture until a well-mixed batter forms.
• Fold carrots, pineapple, coconut, and walnuts into batter; pour into prepared baking pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 1 hour; cool completely, about 1 hour.
• Whisk confectioners' sugar, cream cheese, butter, and a dash vanilla extract together in a bowl until well blended; spread over cooled cake.

BETH'S CARROT CAKE

Steps:

• Mix vegetable oil, eggs and vanilla in a bowl; set aside.
• Place sugar, flour, nutmeg, cinnamon, baking powder, soda and salt in large bowl.
• Mix wet ingredients into dry till well blended.
• Fold in carrots, pinapple and nuts.
• Bake times are approximate (insert knife in center, cake is done when comes out clean).
• Spring Form pan: 60-70 minutes.
• Tube/Bundt pan: 50-60 minutes.
• Loaf pan: 40-50 minutes.
• 8" cake pans: 30-35 minutes.
• Again, this recipe makes several of the above. I usually make a two layer cake then maybe a loaf or mini loafs. I imagine you could make some nice muffins or sheet cake as well but I am not sure of the cook times. Top with your favorite cream cheese frosting or eat plain.
