Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
2 C unsifted flour
2 C sugar.
2 tsp baking powder.
2 tsp baking soda.
2 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp salt.
1 1/2 C oil (I always use EVOO or coconut).
1 tsp vanilla (I always put more vanilla in everything)

3 C grated raw carrots (not fine) about 4 medium carrots.
4 eggs.
1/2 C walnuts (don't use these always)
Directions:
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350º
Grease or spray 9X13 pan which cooks about 45 min. I often times make muffins too. You'd have to check those after 20 minutes. I use toothpick method for all my doneness tests.

Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, & salt in a bowl.
Mix oil & vanilla and add to dry mix. Add carrots & eggs and mix well. This really doesn't need to be beaten like a cake mix. I just stir it well with my mixer on low.
Lastly add nuts.

I got this recipe from Aunt Frances long before I was married. We had it as our wedding cake and for every other special occasion because it's been a family favorite for 34 years. When Tim was away at college in San Diego, he asked me to make him one and send it for his birthday. I make a round layer cake and froze the cake portions then made the cream cheese frosting and froze it separately and sent it express mail. 😊 Success! He ate it for a couple weeks and was so happy. He has also asked for a recipe of the frosting just for him to eat. 😂.
