Carrot Cake

This cake is attributed to Aunt Stacie (Stacie Meredith)!

Beat:
4 eggs
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup white sugar
1 1/2 cup vegetable oil

Add:
2 cups sifted flour
2 tsp soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp allspice
1 tsp cinnamon

Add dry ingredients to egg mixture.  Mix well, then add:
3 cups raw carrots (finely grated)
1/2 cup nuts, chopped

**I've always used walnuts if I'm doing nuts, and sometimes I add raisins, although I know that would never fly if Dad were eating the cake.

ICING
1 # box powdered sugar (sifted)
1, 8 oz package cream cheese
1/4# butter or margarine
1 tsp vanilla & a bit of milk

If made in a dripper pan only need 1/2 recipe for icing (like a single layer).  Full recipe for a layer cake.  Better if refrigerated first.

**I just realized I don't have any baking instructions for this, I'm assuming 350 until it's done, 30-40 minutes.
