Carrot Cake

My mother made this cake many times when she would visit her brother (Billy Bob...aka Sonny) in Sulphur Springs. This is also one of my favorite cakes (especially the icing....I would make myself sick eating leftover icing).

Carrot Cake:

2 cups sugar

2 teaspoons soda

1 teaspoon salt

4 eggs

2 cups flour

3 teaspoons cinnamon

1 1/2 cups Wesson oil

3 cups grated carrots

Cream together sugar, eggs, and oil. Add flour, soda, salt, and cinnanmon. Fold in carrots and pour into 3 - 8" round, greased and floured cake pans. Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes.

Icing:

1 stick butter

1 - 8 oz. cream cheese

1 box powdered sugar

1 cup chopped pecans

Mix and spread between, on top, and sides of cooled layers.
