I am not a great cook or baker. As a matter of fact I leave most of the cooking to Aaron who can open the refrigerator, pull out a few ingredients and whip together a delicious meal in minutes. However a friend gave me this recipe for Carrot Cake over 30 Years ago and it is the best ever. I am sure yours will look a lot prettier than mine. Recipe follows.

2 Cups Flour
2 Cups Sugar
1 Teaspoon Baking Soda
1 Tablespoon Cinnamon
1/2 Teaspoon Salt

11/4 Cups Vegetable Oil
4 Eggs
Blend Well
Add
1 Pound Shredded Carrots
Mix Together
Grease and Flour a Bundt or Tube Pan
Bake for 60 to 90 Minutes. ( In my over 67 minutes and it is usually perfectly done)
Test With Toothpick (Toothpick Should Come Out Dry).
Let Cool
Frosting
8 Ounces Philadelphia Cream Cheese
