Provided by Blair Lonergan

Categories     Dessert

Time 3h5m

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground ginger
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup canola or vegetable oil
4 eggs
3 cups grated carrots
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional mix-ins: 1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts, 1 cup raisins, handful of shredded coconut, or 1 (8-ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained
½ cup salted butter, softened
8 ounces full-fat block-style cream cheese, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 lb. confectioners' sugar
Approximately 2 tablespoons milk (more or less, depending on desired consistency)
½ cup pecans or walnuts, chopped (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9 x 13-inch baking pan with cooking spray and set aside.
  • Sift together the flour, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves and salt. Add the oil and eggs, one at a time. Beat with an electric mixer until completely combined. Add carrots and vanilla extract; mix well. If using, fold in nuts, raisins, coconut, or drained pineapple.
  • Transfer the batter to the prepared pan. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. Set on a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Once the cake is completely cool, prepare the frosting. Cream together butter, cream cheese and vanilla. Slowly add the confectioners' sugar and mix until completely blended. Add the milk, one tablespoon at a time, until the frosting reaches the desired consistency. I use about 2 tablespoons of milk total, but you may need slightly less or slightly more.
  • Spread the frosting on top of the cool cake. Garnish with chopped nuts, if desired.
