    Recipe Introduction


    Absolutely wonderful carrot cake. Extremely moist and delicious. So far it is the best carrot cake recipe I have found.

    List of Ingredients




    3 cups grated carrots
    2 cups all-purpose flour
    2 cups white sugar
    2 teaspoons baking soda
    1 teaspoon baking powder
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    4 eggs
    1 1/2 cups vegetable oil
    1 1/4 teaspoons vanilla extract
    1 (8 ounce) can crushed pineapple with juice
    3/4 cup chopped pecans

    3 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
    1 (8 ounce) package Neufchatel cheese
    1/2 cup butter, softened
    1 1/4 teaspoons vanilla extract
    1 cup chopped pecans

    Recipe



    1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch pan.
    2 In a large bowl, combine grated carrots, flour, white sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. Stir in eggs, oil, 1 1/4 teaspoon vanilla, pineapple and 3/4 cup chopped pecans. Spoon batter into prepared pan.
    3 Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow to cool.
    4 To Make Frosting: In a medium bowl, combine confectioners' sugar, Neufchatel cheese, 1/2 cup butter or margarine and 1 1/4 teaspoons vanilla. Beat until smooth, then stir in 1 cup chopped pecans. Spread on cooled cake.
