THE BEST EVER CARROT CAKE WITH CREAM CHEESE FROSTING
This carrot cake recipe truly is the BEST carrot cake I've ever had and converted me into becoming a carrot cake lover! So supremely moist, fluffy and delicious. Add or omit mix-ins to suit your preference, but this cake has pineapple and pecans which give it ample flavor.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Liberally grease a 9x13" rectangular baking pan with cooking spray and set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the pineapple and eggs until combined. Whisk in the sugars, oil, and vanilla, followed by the dry ingredients until a cohesive batter comes together. Fold in the pecans, carrots, and raisins (if using) until combined.
- Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan and bake for approximately 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean or with moist, not wet, crumbs. Cool completely.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the cream cheese, butter, and vanilla until combined and fluffy, about 1 minute. Beat in the orange juice and gradually add in the powdered sugar, about one cup at a time, until mixture is light and fluffy, streaming in the heavy cream as needed.
- Spread the frosting evenly over the cake and sprinkle with remaining chopped pecans, if using. Store covered in the fridge.
OLD-FASHIONED CARROT CAKE WITH CREAM CHEESE FROSTING
A pleasingly moist cake, this treat is the one I requested that my mom make each year for my birthday. It's dotted with sweet carrots and a hint of cinnamon. The fluffy buttery frosting is scrumptious with chopped walnuts stirred in. One piece of this homemade carrot cake is never enough-better than all the other carrot cakes recipes I've tried!-Kim Orr, West Grove, Pennsylvania

BEST CARROT CAKE WITH CREAM CHEESE FROSTING
This is by far the best carrot cake recipe I've ever had. You can substitute the pecans for walnuts if you prefer. Both are tasty. This recipe is also very easy because you don't have to worry too much about sifting the dry ingredients and making the batter perfectly smooth.

BEST EVER YUMMY CARROT CAKE!!!! (WITH CREAM CHEESE FROSTING)
This is the best, most moist & flavorful carrot cake that I have ever eaten and it is definitely something everyone who tries it will remember! As with most of my recipes, they are bits & pieces from different places all put together to achieve (in my opinion) the perfect recipe. I make this as a 12", 4-layer cake to sell at my restaurant. You can easily half this recipe to make an 8", 3-layer cake or a regular 9 x 13 pan.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (If using a commercial convection oven, set it for 325 degrees on high fan).
- FOR THE CAKE:.
- Grease & flour four 12" round pans.
- Whisk first six ingredients in a large bowl until combined(flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt & cinnamon).
- In a separate smaller bowl, lightly beat oil, eggs & vanilla until combined.
- Add the wet mixture to the dry mixture until just combined.
- Carefully stir in the carrots, coconut, walnuts, pineapple & raisins until everything is evenly dispersed.
- Pour the batter into your greased & floured pans.
- Bake in the oven, turning half way through, until a toothpick comes out clean. When you lightly push on the cake it should spring back if it is done. (It takes about 25-30 minutes in a convection oven, but will probably take longer in a household oven).
- Cool the cake on cooling racks until it is room temperature. I cool mine in the fridge to speed things up -- but either way will work.
- FOR THE CREAM CHEESE FROSTING:.
- While the cake is baking & cooling you can make your frosting.
- Beat cream cheese & softened butter in your mixer until it is light & fluffy.
- With your mixer on low, slowly add the powdered sugar a little at a time so it doesn't fly out everywhere.
- Continue beating until the frosting is smooth.
- Add the vanilla to the frosting & continue to mix until combined.
- This frosting should be a thick fluffy consistency so you can spread it easily but it won't run.
- If you want a thinner frosting add less powdered sugar, if you want it thicker add more powdered sugar.
- TO ASSEMBLE CAKE:.
- When the cakes are cool, put a dollop of frosting on each one & spread around so there is an evenly covered layer (about 1/4" - 1/2" thick).
- If you put too much frosting it will squish out from the weight of the stacked cakes.
- Spread the remainder of the frosting on the sides of the cake.
- FOR THE CARROT DECORATIONS:.
- Take two small bowls of frosting.
- To one add green food coloring until you get a nice "carrot stem green" color.
- To the other bowl add red + yellow food coloring to make a nice "carrot orange" color.
- Add extra powdered sugar to each to make the frosting very thick. Then use a pastry bag to pipe little carrots with green stems on the top of the cake.
- You can use a zip-top bag with a tiny hole cut in the corner to pipe out the frosting carrots if you don't have a pastry bag.

Steps:
- Grease and flour 13- x 9-inch (3.5 L) metal cake pan; set aside.
- In large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, salt and nutmeg. In separate bowl, beat together granulated and brown sugars, eggs, oil and vanilla until smooth; pour over flour mixture and stir just until moistened. Stir in carrots, pineapple and pecans. Spread in prepared pan.
- Bake in centre of 350°F (180°C) oven for 40 minutes or until cake tester inserted in centre comes out clean. Let cool in pan on rack. (Make-ahead: Cover with plastic wrap and store at room temperature for up to 2 days. Or ovenwrap with heavy duty foil and freeze for up to 2 weeks; let thaw before continuing.).
- Icing: In bowl, beat cream cheese with butter until smooth. Beat in vanilla. Beat in icing sugar, one-third at a time, until smooth. Spread over top of cake. (Make-ahead: Cover loosely and refrigerate for up to I day.).
- Tips: Set timer for 5 minutes less than the time specified in recipe, check cake then for the following signs. If the cake is not done, return it to the oven to finish baking.
- When is the cake done:.
- A fully baked cake will spring back when touched in the center. The cake also draws away from the side of the pan, and a cake tester (a toothpick of skewer works well) inserted in the center comes out clean. Also trust your sense of smell: the fresh aroma of butter and sugar wafting out of the oven can be the signal to check the cake.
- When cakes emerge from the oven, their structure is set, but the set is still fragile. Let cakes stand in pans on rack for time specified in each recipe, usually 15 to 20 minutes. Run knife around edge of cake, then place rack over pan and invert cake onto rack to cool completely.
