               Carrot Layer Cake with Brown Sugar Frosting

Recipe By     :
Serving Size  : 1    Preparation Time :0:00
Categories    : Cakes

  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   2      cups          all-purpose flour
   2      cups          firmly packed brown sugar
   2      teaspoons     baking soda
   1      teaspoon      ground cinnamon
     1/4  teaspoon      nutmeg -- grated
     1/8  teaspoon      cloves -- ground
     1/2  teaspoon      salt
   1      cup           vegetable oil
   4                    eggs
   1      pound         carrots (3 cups lightly packed) -- shredded
   1      teaspoon      vanilla extract
                        Brown Sugar Frosting (recipe follows)

l. Preheat oven to 350 degrees  F. Grease or spray with nonstick coating
and lightly flour 2 layer-cake pans, 9 inches across, or 1 baking pan,
13 x 9 x 2 inches.
2. Mix flour, sugar, baking soda, spices, and salt in a large bowl. Blend in oil.
Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each
addition.  Fold in carrots and vanilla.
3. Turn into prepared pan(s).  Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until top
springs back when lightly touched.  Cool in pans on a wire rack for 10
minutes.  Turn out layers and cool completely.  The large cake can cool
completely in the pan.  Frost with brown sugar frosting, stacking and
filling layers.
Do-Ahead Strategy: This cake keeps well, so it can be baked and frosted
a day ahead.
Divide-Multiply: Half this recipe can be baked in one 8-inchsquare pan.
Multiply the batter, using a heavy-duty mixer, but divide batter into
pans specified for each recipe.

   5                    Eggs

*Dark Jamaican rum may be used.
Sift the ground almonds and flour together to make a very fine mixture.
Add the salt, spices and baking powder and mix well.
In a separate bowl put the grated carrots and the nectar.
Add the lemon rind and juice. Cover and let stand.
Cream the margarine and sugar together.
Separate the eggs, putting the yolks in with the margarine and sugar
and saving the whites for later.
Beat the egg yolks in and then add the carrot mixture.
Stir well and let sit for a few minutes.
Beat the egg whites until soft peaks form, then set aside.
Add the dry ingredients to the carrot mixture and mix well.
You should have a thick batter. Now beat the egg whites a
little more and fold the batter into the egg whites.
Mix gently until it is just barely evenly mixed

It is done when a skewer comes out clean.
Take out of the oven and let cool for 5 minutes.
Unmold onto a serving plate dusted with confections sugar
(this prevents the cake from sticking).
