Directions:
Mix oil and sugar well. Add eggs and mix well. (Recipe says to sift dry ingredients, but I never do). Add dry mixture to oil/sugar mixture and mix well. Add carrots, nuts and cherries. Bake at 350º until toothpick comes out clean.

For FROSTING: Soften cream cheese and butter/margarine; cream with powder sugar and vanilla. I typically just add powder sugar until it is the consistency I like.
