Directions:
Preheat oven to 375º grease and flour three 9"-inch pans.

Cream together sugar and Wesson oil. Add eggs and beat.

In a separate bowl, sift in the flour. Sift in to the flour baking powder, soda, salt and cinnamon. Mix well.

Fold in carrots and nuts.

Pour into three 9"-inch pans. I use the three pans because it makes very thin layers - much like a torte. It can also be made into a 9 x 13"-inch pan. If using the one pan, you will only need half the amount of frosting.

Frosting:

Mix all together and heat slowly, beating til smooth.
