Ingredients

CARROT CAKE

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 2 tsp baking soda
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • tsp nutmeg
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 ¼ cups vegetable oil
  • 1 ¾ cups white sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 3 cups grated carrots

CREAM CHEESE FROSTING

  • 1 block cream cheese
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 ½ cups powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2-3 tbsp milk

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  • In separate bowl, beat the oil, sugar, eggs, and vanilla with a hand mixer until smooth. Alternatively can use a stand mixer with the paddle attachment. Then add in the grated carrots.
  • Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix just until combined. Pour the batter into a greased 9x13 inch baking pan.
  • Bake at 350 degrees F for 32-36 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely before frosting.
  • Beat together the cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth and creamy. Spread the frosting over the cooled cake.
  • Cut into squares and enjoy your delicious creation! This cake is perfect for sharing or just enjoying by yourself (no judgment here).
