Carrot Cake Made Easy

Ok, so the Easter holiday is coming and for some that means a family gathering. Other people just need an excuse to bake. Anyways, I have discovered an awesome way to do a carrot cake that people will actually like and that's easy. SO here's how I make carrot cake!

1 box of cake mix (spice flavor)

4 eggs

1/2 cup vegetable oil

1 little bag of "nut topping" (with the nuts in baking section)

3 cups of grated carrots (one regular sized bag of whole carrots will do it)

1/2-3/4 cups raisins (optional)

Combine all ingredients except for the nuts and raisins. Beat with a hand mixer on medium for about 2 minutes. Then, fold in half the little bag of nuts and the raisins with a spatula. You can use this batter to do cupcakes, a 9X13 sheet cake, 2 8" rounds or whatever you like. Then bake according to the directions on the box of cake mix.

I don't really think this cake needs icing; however, cream cheese flavored icing with a dash of cinnamon works well.

Happy EASY Baking!
