Mom's- Nadean's Carrot Cake

We all remember this creation. I have the recipe in Mom's hand. She wrote it for me when Josh was a baby so that is almost 40 years ago. Wow. Taking a look at the ingredients you may want to make several changes but it is fun to remember.

2 C sugar
1 1/3 C Wesson oil ( would use a different oil)
4 eggs
2C flour ( use unbleached white)
2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp salt

ADD:

3C grated raw carrots
1C raisins dark

Turn into greased loaf pan

Bake: 350 for 50 minutes.

CREAM CHEESE ICING: (Optional)

1/2 Box Powdered Sugar
4 oz Cream cheese
1 tsp Vanilla
1/4 stick Margarine ( yikes Mom) (Definitely butter)

Whip together and spread over loaf when slightly cool
