1 -2 teaspoon nutmeg
1 -2 teaspoon ground allspice
1 -2 teaspoon mace
1 -2 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda (sometimes I leave this out)
2 cups flour
2 cups sugar
6 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla essence (you can put almond if you like)
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 cup raisins, tossed in (optional)
flour (so they dont sink to the bottom of the pan) (optional)
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
1/4 cup butter
1/2-3/4 cup icing sugar (I cut down on the sugar because I like it slightly sour)
1 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

Heat oven to 350 degrees Farenheit.
Grease and flour 10" baking pan.
Pour oil and carrots into a mixing bowl and mix till combined.
Add in eggs one by one whilst beating on medium speed.
Add in sugar and beat until sugar is dissolved and the mixture is frothy and light in color.
Make sure to beat until sugar is dissolved! if not the sugar will form a crust on top of the cake whilst baking.
Add in the spices and vanilla / almond essence.
Lastly add in the flour which has been sifted along with the baking powder and soda.
When adding in the flour just mix it in with a wooden spoon and swirl in a figure eight until flour is just combined. This is to make sure you dont let out excess air.
Add in nuts.
Pour batter into pan and bake until cake begins to shrink off sides and toothpick inserted comes out clean, approximately 45 minutes.
When cake is cool put on icing.
For Icing beat the cream cheese and butter until light and fluffy.
Add in icing sugar and vanilla and beat till smooth.
