Carrot Cake

This recipe was from a good friend who is no longer with us.  I hate the diseases that take people away from us way too soon.  

Ingredients:

4 eggs

2 cups sugar

2 cups sifted flour: it makes a difference

2 teaspoons cinnamon

2 teaspoons baking powder

4 cups ground carrots

¾ cup pecans

1 ⅓ cup oil

Directions:

After eggs and sugar are well mixed, combine half of the flour, cinnamon and baking powder in another bowl, mix well.  Add ½ of the oil to that mixture.  Mix well.  Add egg and sugar mixture, remaining oil, flour cinnamon, baking powder, carrots, and pecans.  Bake at 350° for 45 minutes.
