INCREDIBLY MOIST AND EASY CARROT CAKE

Steps:

• Position a rack in the middle of the oven. Grease two 9-inch round cake pans, line the bottom with parchment paper and then grease the top. Or grease and flour the bottom and sides of both pans.
• Heat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (176C).
• Whisk flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in a medium bowl until very well blended.
• In a separate bowl, whisk the oil, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla.
• Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking after each one.
• Switch to a large rubber spatula. Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl, then add the dry ingredients in three parts, gently stirring until they disappear and the batter is smooth.
• Stir in the carrots, nuts, and raisins.
• Divide the cake batter between the prepared cake pans.
• Bake until the tops of the cake layers are springy when touched and when a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, 35 to 45 minutes.
• Cool cakes in the pans for 15 minutes, then carefully turn the cake layers out onto cooling racks. Remove the parchment paper and cool completely. If you find that a cake layer is sticking to the bottom of the pan, leave the cake pan upside down and allow gravity to do its thing.
• In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese with a handheld mixer on medium speed until creamy, about 1 minute.
• Beat in the powdered sugar, a 1/4 cup at a time, until fluffy.
• Pour in the whipping cream. Beat on medium speed for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the frosting is whipped and creamy. This frosting resembles the texture of whipped cream. Chill covered until ready to frost the cake.
• When the cake layers are completely cool, frost the top of one cake layer, and place the second cake layer on top.
• Add the remaining frosting to the top of the carrot cake and use a butter knife or small spatula to swirl the frosting around. Leave the sides of the cake unfrosted. Finish with a handful of nuts on top.

• Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow to cool.

DELICIOUSLY MOIST CARROT CAKE

Steps:

• 1. I prepped for this cake last night, grated the carrots, chopped nuts and soaked the raisins. It took a total of 5 minutes to put together. You don't have to soak the raisins, I just like how it plumps them and makes them a lot softer. Preheat oven to 350 degree F. Grease and flour 2 - 9 inch cake pans. Set aside.
• 2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the cake mix, pudding and cinnamon together.
• 3. Whisk the eggs, orange juice and oil in a separate bowl. Now, pour this into the dry ingredients and mix well. It will be a thick batter.
• 4. Stir in raisins, walnuts and shredded carrots. Stir until well combined.
• 5. Pour evenly into the 2 cake pans. I plop them each once on the counter, to release any air bubbles. Bake for 25 - 30 minutes, or until pick comes out clean.
• 6. Remove from oven to a cooling rack. Cool for 10 minutes, then remove the cakes, and continue cooling on racks.
• 7. Frosting: In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese with the butter until fluffy.
• 8. Add sugar, orange extract if using and enough orange juice until frosting is smooth and spreadable. Note: If you don't want the orange flavor, just add vanilla and 3 - 4 tablespoons of cream or milk in the place of the orange juice.
• 9. Spread frosting on the bottom cake layer. Then spread on top and sides. I saved some frosting out, to color and decorate. Being it's a birthday cake, had to fancy it up...
• 10. Although I have never made this into a 9 x 13, I'm quite sure you could...adjust baking time accordingly. Enjoy!
