Carrot Cake

Ingredients

These quantities are for an 8" x 8" square cake pan.

• 1 cup sugar
• 2 cups flour
• 1 teaspoon (tsp) salt
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp ground cloves
• 1/2 cup oil
• 1/2 cup butter (or use 1 cup oil and no butter)
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup undrained crushed pineapple
• 1 1/4 cups grated carrot
• 1/4 cup chopped walnuts

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Mix all dry ingredients together.
3. Add remaining ingredients and mix until well incorporated.
4. Pour into greased cake pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 50 - 60 minutes. You can line the cake pan with wax paper so that the cake doesn't stick.

If you want to ice it just use cream cheese, icing sugar and just a touch of pineapple juice and taste it to see if it's sweet enough!

If you want to make a bigger cake (in a 9" x 13") pan, just double the recipe.
