Carrot-Raisin Cake




This is a recipe from the book, "Cooking for Two." I tried it today and it turned out really good.
Here is the recipe if you would like to try it:
1/4 cup oil
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
1 cup flour
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 cup finely grated carrots
1/4 cup chopped walnuts (opt.)
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1/4 cup raisins
1/2 cup crushed pineapple

Mix oil, sugar, and egg together. Sift dry ingredients together and add to oil mixture. Stir in remaining ingredients and pour into greased 8x8 baking pan. Bake at 350 for 30-40 minutes. Cool and frost with cream cheese icing.

Cream Cheese Icing: Beat 1/4 cup cream cheese, 2 Tbsp. butter, and 1 cup powered sugar until creamy.
