CARROT CAKE WITH PECAN CREAM FILLING AND CREAM CHEESE ICING
You have to start this the day before you plan to serve it as the Pecan Cream Filling needs refrigeration time. A great variation on the usual carrot cake as this is made in a tube pan and split into layers. I found this treasure back a few years in a cute little cookbook called "Beat This".

Steps:
- For Pecan Cream Filling: A day before you make the cake, blend the sugar, flour and salt in a heavy saucepan.
- Gradually stir in the cream.
- Add the butter.
- Cook and stir the mixture over low heat until the butter has melted; then let simmer 20 to 30 minutes until golden brown, stirring occasionally.
- Cool to lukewarm.
- Stir in the pecans and vanilla.
- Let the mixture cool completely.
- Refrigerate it overnight.
- If it is too thick to spread, bring it to room temperature before using.
- For Carrot Cake: Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Butter and flour a 10-inch tube pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the corn oil and the sugar.
- In another bowl, sift together the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
- Sift half the dry ingredients into the oil-sugar mixture, then blend well.
