Here's my FAVORITE carrot cake recipe. It is always a hit at gatherings and
has become my most-requested cake recipe. The "secret" is the ORANGE!
Personally, I do not like raisins in carrot cake and am glad this one
doesn't require them. If it did, I would simply omit them.
Sift dry ingredients into a large bowl. Add oil and stir well making a very
stiff mixture. Set aside.  Wash orange and cut into small pieces (leave the
peel on!). Put the orange pieces in a blender container and adding one egg
at a time, beat the mixture until it is smooth and foamy. Add this mixture
to the stiff mixture that was set aside. Mix well. Add 2 cups of grated
carrots, mix and then add the nuts. Blend the mixture well.
Pour batter into a well-greased or oiled tube pan (bundt pan). Bake in a
pre-heated oven at 350 F for 40-50 minutes. The cake is done when it starts
shrinking from the sides of the pan. Cool the cake in the pan for 10-15
minutes then invert it onto a cooling rack. Cool completely before icing it
(recipe for icing follows).
Notes: Instead of using a tube pan, you can bake the cake in a 9"x13"
rectangular baking pan. In this case, reduce the baking time to 35 minutes
or until done. The cake tastes equally good without the icing. I only ice
it on special occasions. Store leftovers in the refrigerator.
Icing: Cream cheese should be at room temperature. Mix all the ingredients
together to form a smooth paste.
