• 1 c. chopped nutmeats
• 2 1/2 c. flour (all-purpose)

Bake at 350 degrees. Use 3 (8 inch) layer cake pans or 2 (9 inch) layer cake pans or cupcakes. Bake layers for 30 to 35 minutes, cupcakes for 15 minutes.

 

ICING:

• 1 (8 oz.) pkg. cream cheese
• 1 stick butter
• 1 box sifted powdered sugar
• 2 tsp. vanilla

 

Cream the cream cheese and butter. Add powdered sugar and vanilla. Frost cooled cake. May be prepared several days ahead. Keeps a week in refrigerator. Will freeze. This is a very rich cake. The recipe was given to me by a doctor’s wife from Texas. I have never tried, but I understand 2 cups of baby food carrots works just as well.
