Cream Cheese Frosting:

• 8 oz. Cream Cheese, softened
• 2 Tb. Milk

Directions:

Mix the first 7 cake ingredients together, then add the carrots and walnuts, mixing thoroughly. Place in two round greased and floured cake pans. Bake at 350 degrees for around 45 minutes. Do not over bake. Cool completely before frosting.
