Ingredients
Cake
- 4 eggs
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 cup oil
- 2 cups flour all purpose
- 3 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups carrots grated
Cream Cheese Frosting
- 1/2 cup butter softened
- 3 oz cream cheese softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 1/2 cups powdered sugar

Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the eggs, sugar and oil. Combine the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, salt and nutmeg; beat into egg mixture. Stir in carrots.
- Pour into 2 greased and floured 9-in. round baking pans. Bake at 350° for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
- For frosting, in another large bowl, cream butter and cream cheese until light and fluffy, 3-4 minutes. Beat in vanilla. Gradually beat in powdered sugar. Add enough milk to achieve desired spreading consistency.
- Once cake has fully cooled, spread frosting between layers and over top and side of cake. Sprinkle on walnuts.
