Cook 2 lbs. of carrots in VERY little water and salt.

Mash or process with the liquid:
3/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp vanilla
1- 2 Tblsp flour
3 eggs (one at a time)
3 - 4 Tblsp melted butter

Whip to a smooth consistency.

Bake at 350 for 45 - 60 minutes.

Sprinkle with cinnamon and nutmeg.
Add a little very fine sugar or marshmallows (if you wish), then it's the
carrot soufflé version of candied yams.
