Ingredients

1 1/2 Cup Flour Less 1 tablespoon (don't ask why, it just works.)

1 Cup White Sugar

1 teaspoon Baking Powder

1 teaspoon Cinnamon (although I usually use a pretty heavy hand.)

1 teaspoon Baking Soda

1/2 teaspoon Salt

2/3 cup of cooking oil. I just use whatever's in my cupboard.

2 eggs

1 Cup Finely Shredded Carrots (the shredding process makes a mess, be forewarned!)

1/2 cup canned crushed pineapple (including the syrup.)

1 teaspoon Vanilla extract (I usually use a heavy hand with this one too.)

Cream Cheese Icing

8oz Cream Cheese (You can use low-fat if you'd like, but in my opinion that's like going to McDonalds and ordering a salad. It's cake people!)

1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

1/4 Cup Butter

2 1/2 Cups Icing Sugar (pretty sure it's called something else in the states but I'm Canadian eh?)

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and grease your pans. (Why does that sound so dirty??)

Mix all the dry ingredients. I'm too cheap to buy a proper sifter, so I use a whisk to get rid of the bumps.

Beat the eggs in a seperate bowl and add all the other wet ingredients except the carrots.

Mix all the wet ingredients with the dry, then fold in the carrots.

Pour your batter into your greased pans (hehe) and toss em in the oven. Let them cook for 30-35 minutes. Start checking for done-ness with a toothpick or fork at the 27 minute mark, no one wants a dry carrot cake!

Icing:

Put the cream cheese on a plate and nuke it in the microwave for 30 seconds, then mix it with the butter and vanilla and icing sugar with a blender until the bumps are gone.

After the cake is cool, start icing the cake, and repeat after me: "One spoonful to the cake, one spoonful for me; one spoonful for the cake, one spoonful for me...."
