GRANDMA'S CARROT CAKE
My grandma was very special to me. She had a big country kitchen that was full of wonderful aromas any time we visited. This was one of her prized cake recipes, and it continues to be a favorite from generation to generation. -Denise Strasz, Detroit, Michigan

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 350. Sift the flour, sugar, baking soda and powder, cinnamon, and salt into a mixing bowl.
- 2. Add the oil, applesauce, and eggs. Mix until incorporated. Fold in the grated carrots.
- 3. Grease 2- 9" or 10" pans (could use one 13"x9" as well). Cut out parchment paper to cover the bottom of the pan and line the bottom with parchment then grease again. Sprinkle a little flour in the pan and shake pan to cover with flour. Divide the batter between pans.
- 4. Bake for approximately 35 minutes (until toothpick inserted in middle comes out clean) when using 2 round pans, additional time may be necessary for using 13x9" pan. **you have to take into consideration TYPE of pan (glass, dark, etc) and SIZE (2-8" or 9" or 9X13") when baking anything! Also, not every oven is the same...the temperatures can be off (too high or low) or you can use convection which will also often change cooking times. Please use this as a guideline and check your cake every so often. I usually check mine around 1/2 hour and then every 5 minutes after that.
- 5. To make the frosting, blend cream cheese with butter until smooth. Blend in vanilla, salt, and powdered sugar. Fold in nuts if using. Wait until the cake is completely cooled and then frost.
- 6. **I like to use a little cinnamon or nutmeg occasionally in my frosting. Also, I like to toast coconut and use it while decorating.
GRANDMA'S CARROT CAKE
This recipe has been a favorite in our family for three generations. Different from traditional carrot cakes, this cake is extremely moist and flavorful and is topped with a buttermilk glaze while still warm. Try it and I think you will agree that it is the best!! Be certain to reduce the baking temperature to 325 degrees F(165 degrees C) if using a glass baking pan.

GRANDMA'S HEALTHY CARROT CAKE
This tried-and-true carrot cake has been updated to be a little more nutritious, and is guaranteed to be a crowd pleaser. It is also very easy to put together and uses standard ingredients. If the batter looks dry (results will vary according to humidity and altitude), feel free to add a little milk. As for the icing, I have found that the moisture content of light cream cheese is higher, so you won't need to add any butter/ margarine.

OLD-FASHIONED CARROT CAKE WITH CREAM CHEESE FROSTING
A pleasingly moist cake, this treat is the one I requested that my mom make each year for my birthday. It's dotted with sweet carrots and a hint of cinnamon. The fluffy buttery frosting is scrumptious with chopped walnuts stirred in. One piece of this homemade carrot cake is never enough-better than all the other carrot cakes recipes I've tried!-Kim Orr, West Grove, Pennsylvania

GRANDMA'S APPLE CARROT CAKE
Rich, moist and cinnamony, this old-fashioned cake recipe was handed down from our beloved Grandma Kelly. It's a perfect way to use up a few carrots and an apple...and it's ideal for smaller families, since it yields fewer servings.
