How to Make Carrot Bars W Cream Cheese Frosting
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch jelly roll pan.
- In a large bowl, combine the oil, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Beat well.
- Add the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Mix until just combined.
- Stir in the shredded carrots, chopped nuts (optional), and raisins (optional).
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bars cool completely in the pan before frosting.
- While the bars are cooling, prepare the frosting: In a medium bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and margarine until smooth.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar, beating until light and fluffy. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Add more powdered sugar, if needed, to reach desired consistency.
- Once the bars are completely cool, spread the frosting evenly over the top.
