    Recipe Introduction


    Posted by: lindachicken__Oklahoma *******I can't NOT stand carrot cake. This is one of the best things I have ever laid a lip on. If you like carrot cake or even if you don't you HAVE to try this! If you don't like pecans, leave them out.

    List of Ingredients




    4 eggs
    1 1/4 cups vegetable oil
    2 cups white sugar
    2 teaspoons vanilla extract
    2 cups all-purpose flour
    2 teaspoons baking soda
    2 teaspoons baking powder
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
    3 cups grated carrots
    1 cup chopped pecans

    1/2 cup butter, softened
    8 ounces cream cheese, softened
    4 cups confectioners' sugar
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    1 cup chopped pecans

    Recipe



    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch pan.

    In a large bowl, beat together eggs, oil, white sugar and 2 teaspoons vanilla. Mix in flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. Stir in carrots. Fold in pecans.
    Pour into prepared pan.

    Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Let cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack and cool completely.

    To Make Frosting: In a medium bowl, combine butter, cream cheese, confectioners' sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Beat until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Stir in chopped pecans. Frost the cooled cake.
