Ingredients





For the cake:


2 cups all purpose flour


2 cups sugar


2 teaspoons baking soda


1 teaspoon cinnamon


1 teaspoon salt


4 eggs


1 1/2 cups vegetable oil


3 cups grated carrots (appx. one pound)





Icing:


1 (8 oz.) package cream cheese (room temp.)


1 stick of butter (room temp.)


1 box 4x powdered sugar


2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract


Pecans, chopped (for garnish)











Preparation





Begin by heating your oven to 350-F and preparing two 9'; round cake pans by lining the bottom with wax paper, (do not grease or flour).





In a large mixing bowl sift together the flour, sugar, soda, cinnamon and salt.





Add to that the eggs, vegetable oil and grated carrots, mixing until well combined.





Divide batter evenly between the two cake pans and bake for 30 minutes. (When finished baking be sure and let cakes cool completely before frosting, as the icing will easily melt if cake is the slightest bit warm.)





To make icing, place the cream cheese and butter in a medium-sized mixing bowl and cream until both are well incorporated. To that slowly add the powdered sugar in small increments until all gone and then the vanilla. Chill until ready to frost cake.





When frosting cake, if you'd like, add chopped pecans to the middle layer after frosting and also to the top and sides for a beautiful presentation.





Enjoy!
