____________________________

Sift together sugar, flour, soda, salt and cinnamon. Stir in oil. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add carrots, nuts and vanilla, mixing thoroughly. Pour into a floured and greased 13 x 9 x 2 inch cake pan. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 30 minutes. (It takes mine a lot longer, maybe even an hour, so you have to check for doneness.) Cool in pan. Spread with Cream Cheese icing when cool.
