Mom's Carrot Cake

(Amie) 2 cups flour
1 1/2 cups applesauce
2 tsp cinnamon
4 eggs
3 cups grated carrots (I chop in the food processor)
2 tsp baking soda
2 cups sugar
2 tsp vanilla
Optional: chopped walnuts or raisins (never)
Combine flour, soda, and cinnamon. Mix oil and sugar together and then with dry ingredients. Add carrots and eggs alternately, add vanilla. Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes.
(this isn't the greatest picture.... this cake also has a cheesecake-ish filling... very good)
