Poor into a greased and floured cookie sheet.
I added nuts and raisins to only half of the cake in case there is someone allergic to nuts or just doesn't like them. I am taking this cake to a birthday party.
Bake at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes, or until fork inserted in the middle comes out clean.
Frost the cake; I add nuts on top to the half that has nuts in it so we know which side is which. As it turned out, every piece with nuts and raisins got eaten at the party, and nobody ate the plain side!
And here is the birthday gal in the bottom center, Miss Norma Wardell. She loves carrot cake, and this happens to be the only time I really make it.
