A creamy frosting with a touch of vanilla and orange juice tops this deliciously moist cake. The room quiets down whenever this scrumptious dessert is presented. Ingredients:
1 cup raisins |
2 cups all-purpose flour, divided |
2 cups packed brown sugar |
2 teaspoons baking powder |
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1 teaspoon salt |
3/4 cup vegetable oil |
4 eggs |
3 cups grated carrots |
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened |
1/2 cup butter, softened |
1 teaspoon orange juice |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
3 3/4 cups confectioners' sugar |
Directions:
1. Toss raisins with 2 tablespoons flour; set aside. In a large mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, salt and remaining flour. Add oil and eggs; beat well. Stir in carrots and reserved raisins.
2. Transfer to a greased 13-in. x 9-in. x 2-in. baking dish. Bake at 325° for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack.
