This is a family favorite around our house. So simple and so yummy. I use the Cream Cheese Frosting Recipe (#6536) from riffraff to frost it with. Yummy!

Time 45m

Yield 1 8x12 inch cake

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups grated carrots
1/2 cup chopped pecans
2 eggs
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 cup raisins (optional)

Steps:

  • Combine flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. In a separate bowl, beat eggs, sugar and oil.
  • With mixer running on low speed, slowly add the flour mixture.
  • Blend in vanilla, carrot, raisins (if adding) and pecans.
  • Pour batter into a well greased 8 x 12 inch pan.
  • Bake in 325°F oven for 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
  • When cake is cool, spread with cream cheese icing. When cake is frosted, sprinkle a small handful of pecans on top of cake.
  • Note: Chopped peanuts or walnuts may be substituted for pecans.
  • Note: I double this recipe and use a 13x9 pan.
  • Note: Prep time does not include shredding the carrots.
