1/2 t salt
2 t cinnamon
2 t baking soda
4 large eggs
1 1/2 c oil
2 c grated carrots
Grease a 9" by 13" pan. Mix all dry ingredients and sift. (I never sifted) Beat eggs, oil, and honey. Add to dry ingredients and mix. Add carrots. Bake 30 minutes at 350 F. Top with cream cheese icing.
Cream cheese Icing:
2 8 oz. packages cream cheese.
