DELICIOUSLY MOIST CARROT CAKE

Steps:

• 1. I prepped for this cake last night, grated the carrots, chopped nuts and soaked the raisins. It took a total of 5 minutes to put together. You don't have to soak the raisins, I just like how it plumps them and makes them a lot softer. Preheat oven to 350 degree F. Grease and flour 2 - 9 inch cake pans. Set aside.
• 2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the cake mix, pudding and cinnamon together.
• 3. Whisk the eggs, orange juice and oil in a separate bowl. Now, pour this into the dry ingredients and mix well. It will be a thick batter.
• 4. Stir in raisins, walnuts and shredded carrots. Stir until well combined.
• 5. Pour evenly into the 2 cake pans. I plop them each once on the counter, to release any air bubbles. Bake for 25 - 30 minutes, or until pick comes out clean.
• 6. Remove from oven to a cooling rack. Cool for 10 minutes, then remove the cakes, and continue cooling on racks.
• 7. Frosting: In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese with the butter until fluffy.
• 8. Add sugar, orange extract if using and enough orange juice until frosting is smooth and spreadable. Note: If you don't want the orange flavor, just add vanilla and 3 - 4 tablespoons of cream or milk in the place of the orange juice.
• 9. Spread frosting on the bottom cake layer. Then spread on top and sides. I saved some frosting out, to color and decorate. Being it's a birthday cake, had to fancy it up...
• 10. Although I have never made this into a 9 x 13, I'm quite sure you could...adjust baking time accordingly. Enjoy!

MOIST CARROT CAKE

Steps:

• Mix the sugar and vegetable oil together. The sugar will start to dissolve and add the vanilla then add the eggs one at a time. This is much wetter than creamed butter and sugar together and helps make the carrot cake moist.
• Next add in the flour, salt, baking soda and powder and your spices. After those are combined mix in the nuts and grated carrots.
• You can grate the carrots by hand or with a food processor. Peel them and cut off the top and bottom before grating for the cake. I usually grate by hand because the food processor grates the carrots finer than I like.
• Bake at 350 Farheinet in a 9x13 pan about 40-50 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean and the top of the cake is firm to the touch.
