50 min Total Time
Ingredients:
3 large eggs
1 1/4 cups vegetable oil
2 cups flour
2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 (4 ounce) jars carrot baby food
FROSTING:
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese (softened)
1/2 cup butter (softened)
1/4 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
3-4 cups powdered sugar
Dіrесtіоnѕ:
Heat oven to 350 degrees.
In a large bowl, beat eggs and oil for 2 minutes.
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda and salt; add to egg mixture. Add in baby food; mix well.
Transfer to a greased 15x10x1 inch baking pan. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack.
While the cake cools, make the frosting. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and butter until light and fluffy (I love using an electric hand mixer, but you can also do it by hand).
Mix in milk and vanilla. Gradually beat in powdered sugar until it reaches the desired consistency (I like to make mine light and fluffy so that it’s easier to spread).
Gently spread the frosting on the cake using a spatula.
