Have you ever eaten vegetables that taste like candy? If not, you have got to try these Matanuska Valley Grown carrots!

If not the carrots by themselves, then try this simple and Delicious carrot cake!

2 C flour
2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
2/3 C butter, softened
1 C sugar
3 large eggs
2/3 C milk
3 medium carrots, grated
1/2 C chopped pecans or walnuts

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9" round cake pan. Dust with flour, tap out excess. Mix together flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt; set aside. Beat together butter and sugar at medium speed until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. At low speed, alternately beat flower mixture and milk into butter mixture. Stir in grated carrots and nuts. Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake until top springs back when lightly touched, about 40 minutes. Ice cake with cream cheese frosting if you like, then sprinkle with 1/4 C chopped nuts mixed with 2 Tbsp brown sugar, if desired.

When I make this cake, I make two and layer them with some cream cheese frosting in the middle.

Happy Baking!
