Carrot Cake

Lion House Cookbook

1 cup sugar
½ cup oil (I use applesauce)
2 eggs, beaten
1½ cups grated carrots
1 cup unsifted flour (I use whole wheat flour)
½ tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
¼ cup each ground coconut, nuts and raisins (I use ½ cup each)

Combine sugar and oil. Add eggs. Mix well. Add grated carrots. Slowly stir in sifted dry ingredients. Add ground coconut, nuts and raisins. Pour batter into lightly greased and floured 9x9 inch square cake pan. Bake at 400° for 20-30 minutes, or until tests done. Eat cake as is or you can frost with a cream cheese frosting.
