Tammy's Old-Fashioned Carrot Cake

So late last night I recieved a recipe for a carrot cake. Here's a little backstory:

My step-dad works with this guy. The guy's wife cooks for the Wrigley's. As in the owners of Wrigley Field (or the gum, if you don't care about baseball). They own a cabin up north, and this woman does their cooking while they are at their cabin. She's absolutely amazing.

Tammy's Old-fashioned Carrot Cake

------------------------------------------

4 eggs

2 c sugar

3 c shredded carrots (I shred my own)

1 80z pkg cream cheese-softened

1 1/2 veg oil

2 c flour

2 tsp. baking soda

2 tsp. cinnamon

1 tsp. salt

10 oz crushed pineapple-drained (I use the stuff in heavy syrup for more flavor)

1 c chopped walnuts

In a large bowl beat eggs, sugar, cream cheese, oil, and carrots. Combine the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt in a seperate bowl. Gradually add to carrot mixture. Beat in pineapple chunks and nuts. Pour into greased 9x13 pan (I used a spring-form pan so that I could frost the sides and display it). Bake 55-60 min at 350 degrees. Let cool and spread on frosting.

Frosting

-----------

1 80z pkg cream cheese-softened

1/4 c butter

2 tsp. vanilla

4 c powdered sugar

Mix it all up and spread it on your cake

***I also bought sliced pineapples for an embellishment on top. It's not in the recipe, but I love embellishments.***
