Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350º. Grease & flour THREE 9 inch pans ( Sister Schubert Roll pans work great if you don't have enough pans around your house!)
2. Line bottom of pans with parchment paper (I skipped this step, however they were a little difficult to get out of the pans. They did come out, but the parchment paper would have helped!)
3. Combine flour, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Add eggs and vegetable oil. Blend until combined.
4. Add carrots and pecans ( pecans optional)
5. Pour into pans.Bake for 40 minutes. Cool for 4 minutes, then remove from pans and cool completely.
