Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

---------------------ADD IN ORDER GIVEN--------------------------
1/3 c Karo 1/4 ts Nutmeg
1 c Granulated sugar 3 c Raw carrots, grated fine
1 c Brown sugar 1 ts Vanilla
4 x Eggs 2 c Sifted flour
1 1/2 c Salad oil 2 ts Baking soda
1 ts Cinnamon 3/4 ts Salt
1/4 ts Cloves 1 c Pecans, chopped
1/4 ts Ginger

Beat sugar, eggs, Karo and oil until light and fluffy. ***Be sure
you beat this a long time. I beat the entire time I grate carrots.
Add rest of ingredients in order given. *Do not beat much after
adding flour. Pour into 3-8"pans and bake at 350 degrees until, when
touched lightly with your finger, the cake barely springs back up.
Notes:
Only one recipe will fit in the ordinary mixer bowl at one time.

layers plus 1-6"layer.
A 12" and 6" 2-layer cake requires over 1-2lb bag of carrots and 3
recipes.
one recipe makes 1-10" plus 2-6" layers.
one recipe is not quite enough for 1-14" layer
2 mixes makes 1-14" layer plus 1-10" layer *One bag of carrots
makes 2 recipes and a little over
For a 2-layer 14",10",6" cake, use 5 lbs carrots 4 cups pecans+5
recipes. Also need: 3 pks carrots, 1/2 bags brown sugar, 2 pks

Line bottoms of pans with baker's parchment/grease flour the
