OK - but not tonight. It is too long to type up - it is the best carrot cake I have ever had.

OLD SOUTH CARROT CAKE
(originally published in Southern Living, 1980)

2 cups flour
2 cups sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp gr. cinnamon
4 eggs
1 cup vegetable oil
2 cups grated carrots (use food processor - easier!)

Combine dry ingredients. Stir gently and set aside. Combine eggs and oil, beating well. Fold dry ingredients and carrots into egg mixture. Spoon batter into 3 greased and floured 9" cake pans. Bake at 375° 25 minutes or until done.
Cake layers will be thin. Cool 10 minutes in pan, then remove and cool completely.

FROSTING

1 box powdered sugar
1/2 cup softened butter
1 8 oz. package cream cheese, softened
2 tsp vanilla
1 cup chopped pecans
1 cup flaked coconut

Combine butter and cream cheese. Beat until fluffy. Add sugar and vanilla. Mix, Stir in remaining ingredients.

Note: Since I like coconut, I take the liberty of adding some plus nuts to the cake batter.
