Ingredients

• 2 cups, grated carrots
• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups brown sugar
• 0.5 cups granulated sugar
• 3 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 0.75 cups vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups, chopped pecans
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 4 oz cream cheese
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons milk

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.

2. 2

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated carrots, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.

3. 3

   Add the eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix well until all ingredients are combined, about 2 minutes.

4. 4

   Fold in the chopped pecans gently into the batter.

5. 5

   Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

6. 6

   Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

7. 7

   Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

8. 8

   While the cake cools, prepare the cream cheese frosting. In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth.

9. 9

   Gradually add powdered sugar and milk, mixing until you reach a smooth, spreadable consistency.

10. 10

    Once the cake is completely cool, frost the top with the cream cheese frosting. Optionally, garnish with additional chopped pecans.
