Ingredients:

  • 4 eggs
  • 2 1/2 cups unsifted flour
  • 2 tbsp wheat germ
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 cups vegetable oil
  • 3 (4 1/2 oz) jars strained carrot baby food
  • 1 (3 oz) package cream cheese
  • 2 cups confectioners' sugar
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Grease a 9x13 inch pan (I use a sheetcake pan, and it bakes a little faster).
  3. In a large bowl, beat eggs at medium speed.
  4. Add flour, wheat germ, sugar, cinnamon, baking soda, salt,oil and carrots.
  5. Beat at low speed to combine, then at high speed to mix well.
  6. Stir in walnuts.
  7. Pour into pan and bake for 30-35 minutes.
  8. (if using sheet pan, the time may be a bit shorter) Cake is done when a toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out clean.
  9. Cool and then frost.
