Categories     Dessert

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups All-Purpose Flour
2 cups Granulated Sugar
2 teaspoons Baking Powder
2 teaspoons Baking Soda
2 teaspoons Ground Cinnamon
1 teaspoon Salt
4 Eggs
1 cup Vegetable Oil
4 cups Carrots (peeled and grated)
1 cup Raisins (optional)
1 cup Unsalted Butter (softened (2 sticks))
2 packages Cream Cheese (8 oz. each, room temperature)
8 cups Powdered Sugar ((confectioners' sugar))
1 tablespoon Milk

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350℉. Prepare two 9-inch round cake pans with vegetable pan spray and parchment paper. Set aside.
  • In a separate medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, beat eggs at high speed with an electric mixer until foamy (about 1 to 2 minutes). Add vegetable oil in a thin stream, beating well.
  • Add flour mixture to eggs, mixing until combined.
  • Stir in carrots and raisins. Divide evenly into prepared pans.
  • Bake cakes 35 to 40 minutes, or until toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
  • Cool cake in pan for 10 minutes, then carefully move onto cooling grid and cool completely before decorating.
  • In a large bowl, beat butter and cream cheese with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
  • Gradually add confectioners' sugar and milk to butter and cream cheese. Beat on high until smooth (about 1 minute).
  • If frosting seems too thin, add 1 tablespoon of confectioners' sugar at a time. If too thick, add 1 teaspoon more of milk at a time until frosting reaches desired consistency.

Tips:

  • Use quality ingredients: Fresh cream cheese, unsalted butter, and pure vanilla extract will yield the best results.
  • Make sure the cream cheese and butter are at room temperature: This will help them blend together smoothly.
  • Beat the butter and cream cheese until light and fluffy: This will incorporate air into the frosting, making it smooth and creamy.
  • Add the sugar gradually: This will help prevent the frosting from becoming grainy.
  • Beat in the vanilla extract: This will add a delicious flavor to the frosting.
  • Use the frosting immediately: Cream cheese frosting is best when used fresh.
  • If you need to store the frosting: Place it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Wilton cream cheese icing is a versatile and delicious frosting that can be used on a variety of desserts. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced baker, you will love this classic frosting.
