Steps:
- For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line two 9-inch round cake pans with parchment and lightly coat with cooking spray.
- Spread the pecans on a rimmed baking sheet and toast until light brown and fragrant, 7 minutes. Set aside 12 pecan halves to decorate the finished cake; chop the remaining pecans. Set aside 1 cup of the chopped pecans to use in the batter; reserve the rest for decorating the finished cake.
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and 1 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl.
- Whisk together the eggs and granulated sugar in a large bowl until smooth, about 1 minute. Whisk in the oil until well combined. Add the grated carrots, vanilla and 1 cup chopped pecans, and mix well. Add the dry ingredients, and stir until just combined. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans.
- Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the cakes are nicely browned, about 30 minutes. Let cool on a cooling rack for 10 minutes. Loosen the edges with a spatula, turn the cakes out and let cool completely, right-side up, on the cooling rack, about 2 hours. Remove the parchment before frosting.
- For the frosting: Beat the cream cheese and butter in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, scraping down the side as necessary, until smooth, about 2 minutes. Add the confectioners' sugar, vanilla and 1/2 teaspoon salt; gradually increase the mixer speed to medium-high, and beat until the sugar is incorporated and the frosting is fluffy and smooth, about 3 minutes. With the mixer on medium-high, add the cream a few drops at time until it's all incorporated. Continue beating for 1 more minute until the frosting is slightly lighter in color and creamy.
- To assemble: Place one of the cake layers on a serving plate, and spread 1 cup of the frosting over the top. Top with the other layer, and use the remaining frosting to frost the top and sides of the cake. Arrange the 12 whole pecans on top of the cake like the numbers on a clock face, and sprinkle the remaining chopped pecans in between.
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

CARROT SNACKING CAKE WITH CREAM CHEESE FROSTING
This one-bowl, one-layer carrot cake is a perfect "mix-and-bake" dessert. It's full of flavor from the shredded carrots, cinnamon and vanilla, and the nuts add texture. The cake is super-moist because it uses oil, and the fresh carrots add moisture too. You don't need any fancy equipment--you can simply mix all of the ingredients together in a bowl with a whisk or spoon (and a fork is the perfect makeshift whisk!). The frosting is super creamy and simple, and you can jazz things up and serve the iced cake from a cake stand, if you want to be fancy.

Steps:
- For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Spread the nuts in an even layer on a baking sheet. Cook until toasted, 8 to 10 minutes. Give them a shake halfway through so they don't burn.
- Meanwhile, prepare your baking pan. A square 8-inch cake pan or a 9-inch round cake pan both work great. You can spray the pan with nonstick baking spray with flour or line the bottom with parchment paper and then grease the pan and the paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and oil together until combined. Add the milk, sugar, vanilla and salt and whisk until combined. Sift the flour, baking soda, baking powder and cinnamon into the bowl and stir or fold until combined. Add the carrots, raisins and toasted nuts if using and stir or fold until combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake until your house smells like carrot cake and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack 15 to 20 minutes. Remove the cake from the pan and cool on the rack completely.
- While the cake is baking, make the frosting: Add the softened cream cheese to a large bowl and whisk it until it is smooth (if the cream cheese isn't softened, zap it in the microwave for 5 or 10 seconds).
- Add the confectioners' sugar, milk, vanilla, if using, and salt and whisk until smooth. If the frosting is a little too thick, add a tiny bit more milk. If it's too thin, you can add more confectioners' sugar.
- Once your cake has cooled (if it's warm it will melt the frosting), spread the frosting evenly over the cake. Tada! Enjoy!

CARROT CAKE WITH CREAM CHEESE FROSTING
Everyone seems to have an opinion on carrot cake, especially in our test kitchen. In our (lengthy) discussions, we debated the merits of adding common ingredients like coconut, pineapple, and chopped nuts. We even discussed just how much carrot to add. In the end, we all agreed that the classic carrot should definitely be loaded with carrots, walnuts, and raisins. One thing the test kitchen could agree on was that carrot cake must be frosted with cream cheese frosting. That is NOT negotiable.

Steps:
- Make the cake: Preheat the oven to 350˚ F. Coat three 8-inch round cake pans with cooking spray and line the bottoms with parchment paper; coat the parchment with more cooking spray. Spread the walnuts on a baking sheet and bake until toasted, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool, then roughly chop 1 1/2 cups walnuts and finely chop 1 1/2 cups. Set aside the finely chopped nuts for topping.
- Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg in a medium bowl. In a large bowl, beat the vegetable oil, granulated sugar and brown sugar with a mixer on medium-high speed until smooth, about 3 minutes. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until just combined. With the mixer on medium-low speed, beat in the flour mixture in three batches, alternating with the buttermilk, until combined. Stir in the vanilla. Gently fold in the carrots, raisins and roughly chopped walnuts with a rubber spatula.
- Divide the batter among the cake pans and bake until a toothpick inserted into the centers comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Transfer to racks and let cool 20 minutes in the pans. Remove the cakes from the pans, remove the parchment and let cool completely on the racks.
- Meanwhile, make the frosting: Beat the butter, cream cheese, confectioners' sugar and vanilla in a large bowl with a mixer on medium speed until smooth and fluffy, about 4 minutes.
- Place one cake layer on a platter or cake stand and spread 1 cup frosting on top. Add another cake layer, spread with another 1 cup frosting and then add the last cake layer. Cover the top and sides of the cake with a very thin layer of frosting (this is the crumb coat). Refrigerate 1 hour.
- Cover the top and sides of the cake with the remaining frosting, then carefully press the finely chopped walnuts into the sides.

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.

If you like nuts in your cake, stir 1 1/2 cups toasted chopped pecans or walnuts into the batter along with the carrots. Raisins are also a good addition; 1 cup can be added along with the carrots. If you add both nuts and raisins, the cake will need an additional 10 to 12 minutes in the oven.
