How to Make Grandma Chics Carrot Cake 1968

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease and flour a 9 1/2-inch tube pan or bundt pan.
  2. In a large bowl, beat eggs until light and fluffy. Gradually add sugar, beating until well combined.
  3. Add grated carrots and mix well.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  5. Add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients alternately with the oil, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  6. Stir in vanilla extract, chopped nuts, and raisins or pineapple.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
  8. Bake for 45 minutes at 375°F (190°C).
  9. Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Using a wooden spoon handle or skewer, poke holes all over the cake.
  10. Pour desired cream cheese frosting (recipe not included) into the holes and spread over the top.
  11. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  12. Let cool completely in the pan before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  13. Once completely cool, frost with a coffee glaze (recipe not included).
