Here's a simple, easy and very moist carrot cake. I prefer this to the heavier ones loaded with pineapple, coconut and nuts, etc.

CARROT CAKE
1 cup vegetable oil
3 eggs
1 c. white sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/3 c. flour
1 1/3 tsp. baking powder
1 1/3 tsp. soda
1 1/3 tsp. cinnamon
2 c. grated carrot

8 x 8 pan at 350 deg. until done. (You can use the toothpick method to see if the centre is cooked through )

Frosting:
2 oz. cream cheese
1 tsp. butter
1 tsp. vanilla
1 1/4 c. icing sugar

Strawberry Fluff

1 Angel Food Cake broken in small pieces
1 large cool whip
1 large vanilla pudding mix (following recipe)
Mix cool whip and pudding together
Strawberries, or peaches, or blue berries, etc.

Layer with cake, then pudding mix, then topping choice, and repeat.

For peaches, use 2 large cans of sliced peaches and cut each slice in half. To give a little more of a peach flavor use 1/2 cup of the peach juice with your milk to make pudding. Example if pudding recipe calls for 2 cups of milk, use 1/2 cup of peach juice and 1 1/2 cups of milk.

More later.

Chocolate

Use chocolate pudding mix instead of vanilla and chocolate cool whip. Add candy pieces in between layers.
