Beat sugar, eggs, Karo and oil until light and fluffy. ***Be sure you beat this a long time. I beat the entire time I grate carrots. Add rest of ingredients in order given. *Do not beat much after adding flour. Pour into 3-8"pans and bake at 350 degrees until, when touched lightly with your finger, the cake barely springs back up. Notes: Only one recipe will fit in the ordinary mixer bowl at one time. -2 mixes makes 1-16" layer, or 1-12", plus 1-8" layer, or 2-10" layers plus 1-6"layer.
A 12" and 6" 2-layer cake requires over 1-2lb bag of carrots and 3 recipes.
one recipe makes 1-10" plus 2-6" layers.
one recipe is not quite enough for 1-14" layer 2 mixes makes 1-14" layer plus 1-10" layer *One bag of carrots makes 2 recipes and a little over For a 2-layer 14", 10", 6" cake, use 5 lbs carrots & 4 cups pecans+5 recipes. Also o need: 3 pks carrots, 1/2 bags brown sugar, 2 pks pecans, over 1 qt Crisco oil.
Line bottoms of pans with baker's parchment/grease & flour the parchment too! Cake tends to stick in the pans.
