Carrot Cake
Mix together sugar, oil and eggs.
(I always use applesauce in place of some of the oil. The recipe calls for one cup of oil, so I'll put in 1/2 cup of applesauce and 1/2 cup of oil. In theory you could substitute the applesauce for the oil, but I haven't tried that yet.) I did add the sugar although it's not in the picture:)
Stir it all up and add the carrots (I use my food processor to grate them) and nuts. My daughter insisted that I not put nuts in it. So that's what I did, although I prefer it with nuts.
Stir well and place in greased pan.
Bake.
Frost.
You can also substitute shredded zucchini. I like to shred up lots of zucchini this time of year and stick it in the freezer. If you use frozen zucchini, you should thaw it first and then drain about half of the liquid before using.
