Phenomenally Moist Carrot Cake Food

INCREDIBLY MOIST AND EASY CARROT CAKE

Steps:

• Position a rack in the middle of the oven. Grease two 9-inch round cake pans, line the bottom with parchment paper and then grease the top. Or grease and flour the bottom and sides of both pans.
• Heat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (176C).
• Whisk flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in a medium bowl until very well blended.
• In a separate bowl, whisk the oil, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla.
• Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking after each one.
• Switch to a large rubber spatula. Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl, then add the dry ingredients in three parts, gently stirring until they disappear and the batter is smooth.
• Stir in the carrots, nuts, and raisins.
• Divide the cake batter between the prepared cake pans.
• Bake until the tops of the cake layers are springy when touched and when a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, 35 to 45 minutes.
• Cool cakes in the pans for 15 minutes, then carefully turn the cake layers out onto cooling racks. Remove the parchment paper and cool completely. If you find that a cake layer is sticking to the bottom of the pan, leave the cake pan upside down and allow gravity to do its thing.
• In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese with a handheld mixer on medium speed until creamy, about 1 minute.
• Beat in the powdered sugar, a 1/4 cup at a time, until fluffy.
• Pour in the whipping cream. Beat on medium speed for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the frosting is whipped and creamy. This frosting resembles the texture of whipped cream. Chill covered until ready to frost the cake.
• When the cake layers are completely cool, frost the top of one cake layer, and place the second cake layer on top.
• Add the remaining frosting to the top of the carrot cake and use a butter knife or small spatula to swirl the frosting around. Leave the sides of the cake unfrosted. Finish with a handful of nuts on top.

PHENOMENALLY MOIST CARROT CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit. Either spray a 9x13 pan with nonstick spray, or line the bottom of two 8" or 9" cake pans with parchment paper and then spray the paper and the sides with nonstick cooking spray.
• Blend dry ingredients together in a large mixing bowl.
• Add oil, eggs, and baby food. Mix until well combined.
• Stir in pineapple and coconut (if desired). This is also the point where you can make the decision to ruin your cake by adding the nuts - it's up to you!*
• Pour cake batter either in your prepared 9x13 or evenly between your two cake pans.
• Bake for 30-45 mins depending on your pan selection. Cake pans bake a bit quicker than a 9x13. Check cake for doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center of the cake, if it comes out clean, its done! This cake rises quite a bit, so make sure it is indeed done, before removing it from the oven.
• Once removed from oven, let cake cool. If using cake pans, cool for 5-10 minutes and then run a knife gently around the edge of the pan and turn out cakes on a cooling rack. (I feel like there is someone out there that needs this gentle reminder, if you used parchment paper, don't forget to remove it from the bottom of the cake!)
• When cake is completely cool, you may frost it with some delicious cream cheese frosting.**
• Cream together butter and cream cheese frosting with mixer. Add vanilla extract. Gradually add 3 cups of powdered sugar 1/2 cup at a time, mixing between each addition. Taste frosting at this point. Some people like their frosting a little on the tangy side, if that's you, you may want to stop here. If you like sweet frosting add more powdered sugar, up to a cup, and mix well. When your tongue is happy, your frosting is delicious and you are ready to frost your cake!***
• Enjoy your cake with a cup of coffee or milk, knowing you have won the carrot cake bake-off! Who knew taking a short cut with the carrots would make ALL the difference?!
