      DESCRIPTION
      Carrot Cake from Land O Lakes

      SUMMARY
      Yield 0 File under cakes

      INSTRUCTIONS
      This recipe comes out of Comfort Foods, in the Land O Lakes Recipe Collection. Lots of good recipes in that little booklet.

      The mandarin and coconut are subtle background flavors, not at all prominant. I consider the orange peel optional and leave it out when I don't want to taste the orange, use 1 teaspoon for a nice middle ground, use 2 teaspoons if you want the orange to be more noticeable.

      This is also nice as a layer cake using 3 8-inch rounds.

      1 cup butter, melted
      1 cup brown sugar
      3/4 cup sugar
      3 eggs
      1 11-oz can mandarin oranges, undrained
      2 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
      2 teaspoons grated orange peel
      2 3/4 cups AP flour
      1 tablespoon cinnamon
      2 teaspoons baking soda
      1/2 teaspoon salt
      3/4 cup flaked coconut
      1/2 cup chopped pecans
      2 cups (4 medium) grated carrots

      3 1/2 cups powdered sugar
      1 8-oz package cream cheese, softened
      2 tablespoons butter, softened
      2 teaspoons vanilla

      Chopped pecans, if desired

      Heat oven to 350F. In large mixer bowl combine 1 cup butter, brown sugar, sugar and eggs. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until creamy (1 to 2 minutes). Add mandarin oranges, 2 1/2 teaspoons vanilla and orange peel. continue beating until well mixed (1 minute).

      Reduce speed to low; add flour, cinnamon, baking soda and salt. Beat, scraping bowl often, until well mixed (1 to 2 minutes). By hand, stir in coconut, 1/2 cup pecans and carrots.

      Pour into greased and floured 13x9-inch baking pan. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool completely.

      Meanwhile, in small mixer bowl combine all frosting ingredients except chopped pecans. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until smooth (2 to 3 minutes). Frost cooled cake. Sprinkle with pecans, if desired

      Spread the word
