This super easy carrot cake recipe is so moist and flavourful with a rich homemade cream cheese frosting, and chopped pecans and raisins. It's a simple and delicious dessert that anyone can make and everyone will love! It's definitely a must try recipe...let me know what you think. 😊
Cake Ingredients:
1 1/3 cup All-purpose Flour
1 teaspoon Baking Powder
1 teaspoon Cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon Ginger
1/4 teaspoon Nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon Salt
3 Eggs
1 cup granulated Sugar
1 cup Vegetable Oil (I use Extra Virgin Olive Oil)
2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
3 Carrots (grated)
1/2 cup Raisins
1/2 cup Pecans (chopped)
Frosting Ingredients:
4 oz Cream Cheese (softened)
1/4 cup Unsalted Butter (softened)
1 1/4 cup Powdered Sugar (sifted)
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare a 9x5 loaf pan by coating with non-stick spray & line with parchment paper for easy removal (optional).
2. In a mixing bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and salt until combined.
3. In a large bowl, mix together the eggs and sugar until combined. Then add in the oil and vanilla. Mix everything together until oil is fully combined.
4. Stir in the dry ingredients.
5. With a spatula, fold in the carrots, raisins and pecans.
6. Pour into the prepared pan and bake for 1 hour - 1 hour 15 minutes (I use Convection Bake ~ for 55 minutes).
7. Cool for 10 minutes and then move the loaf to a rack and cool completely.
8. Prepare the frosting by mixing all ingredients together, add extra milk or cream for a thinner icing. Frost the cooled loaf and top with extra pecans, if you like. ENJOY!
NOTE: It's easier to frost the cake when it's chilled...so pop it in the fridge for 15 minutes before frosting.
