Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
Preheat oven

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.

2
Combine dry ingredients

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.

3
Mix wet ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together vegetable oil, granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.

4
Prepare carrots and pecans

Peel and grate carrots. Chop pecans.

5
Combine ingredients

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in the grated carrots and chopped pecans.

6
Bake cakes

Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove and cool completely on wire racks.

7
Prepare frosting

In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and butter with an electric mixer until smooth. Gradually add confectioners' sugar, mixing until creamy.

8
Assemble cake

Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a layer of frosting evenly over the top. Place the second cake layer on top. Frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining frosting.

9
Chill and serve

Refrigerate the cake for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving.
