Moist carrot cake

This is my favourite Carrot Cake Recipe. It is full of flavor and moist without being mushy. Grate the carrots in the biggest setting of the grater. Pair this cake with Cream Cheese Frosting recipe and you’ll find it hard not to have another slice.

Ingredients

  • CREAM CHEESE FROSTING:
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 1/4 cups oil
  • 1 cup granulated white sugar
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla
  • 3 cups grated carrots
  • 1 cup of pecans or walnuts
  • 1 cup raisins, optional
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
