Mom's Carrot Cake

I don't know where she got this recipe, so it's hers now! (Isn't that probably how these things usually happen?)

2 cups sugar
2 cups flour
2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
4 eggs
1 cup vegetable oil
2 cups grated carrots
1 small can crushed pineapple (half a large can works, too)

Sift first five ingredients together. Add egg, oil, carrots, and pineapple. Mix well and pour in greased 13 x 9 pan. Bake 30 minutes at 350 degrees. Frost with cream cheese frosting.

Note: That was what the original recipe said. However, I need to play with the bake times a little. 30 minutes was perfect for two 9-inch round cakes.

I liked this cream cheese frosting I loosely got from allrecipes.com. (from several recipes)

1/2 c. butter (1 stick)
1 8 oz. pkg. cream cheese
3-4 cups powdered sugar (according to desired sweetness/consistency)
1 t. vanilla

Cream butter and cream cheese. Add powdered sugar and mix well before mixing in vanilla. Don't eat too much of it, save some for the cake.
