Carrot Cake

This original recipe calls for 2 cups sugar (as much sugar as flour) and it wouldn't come out of the cake pans even after I double oiled them. So I'm reducing the sugar next time I try it. We put extra cream cheese in the frosting without adding extra sugar and it was yummy. This is how I'll do it next time. 2 rounds take about 40 mins to bake.

Preheat oven to 350.

Cake:
2 cups flour
1 1/2 cups white sugar
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
2 tsp cinnamon
1 1/2 cups oil
4 eggs
3 cups grated carrots
1 cup chopped walnuts (yum yum)

Frosting:
1 1/2 sticks butter
8 oz cream cheese
1 1/2 c. powdered sugar (or more to taste)
1 tsp vanilla
