Ingredients for the cake 

2 cups APF 

1 can Condensed milk 

3/4 cup olive oil 

3/4 cup  milk 

2 cups grated carrot 

1 Tsp nutmeg powder 

2 Tsp cinnamon powder

1.5 Tsp baking Soda 

Ingredients for the frosting

8 oz cream cheese 

3 Tbsp cream 

2/3 Cup confectioner’s Sugar 

1 Tsp 

Procedure for the cake 

Pre-heat oven to 350 F.  Mix all the Dry Ingredients together and sift. In a separate bowl mix all wet ingredients. Either using a mixer or a large wooden a spoon, mix the wet and dry ingredients. I use a cake mixer to allow air into the cake mix. Spoon into a baking dish and bake.

1/2 sheet rectangular cake pan takes about 30-35 Minutes.  Check the done-ness by inserting a toothpick into the center. I should come out clean. 

Procedure for the frosting 

Keep the cream cheese outside for at-least 3 hrs. Whip the cream cheese, whipping cream and powdered sugar. Whip well.  Cover cake ! 

I double the recipe to make two layers!!! And put the frosting in between.
