Carrot Cake

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan. 2. In a large bowl, mix together the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. 3. In another bowl, beat eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Stir in the grated carrots and, if desired, nuts. 4. Combine wet and dry ingredients, stirring just until moistened. Pour into the prepared pan. 5. Bake for 40-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Cream Cheese Frosting

1. In a medium bowl, beat together the cream cheese, butter, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. 2. Once the cake has cooled, spread the frosting evenly over the top. For an extra touch, sprinkle some finely chopped nuts over the frosting.
