Carrot Cake

I made this carrot cake for Easter last year and I'm hoping to make it again this weekend.  It was easy and delicious!  Then I got to accessorize it with some jelly beans to make it a little more Eastery and fun.

2 Cups Sugar

2 Teaspoons Baking Soda

2 Teaspoons Cinnamon

1/4 Teaspoon Nutmeg

1 1/2 Cups Vegetable Oil
