Carrot Cake

The cake is super moist and you don't even have to beat it a lot, unlike other cakes ! I would say the only hard work you gotta do to make this cake is to grate those carrots. But hey, you get a super awesome end product, so it's totally worth it :)

Ingredients

For the cake :

2 cups grated carrots

2 cups self-rising flour

4 eggs – room temperature

¾ cup oil

1 cup sugar

1 cup brown sugar

2 tsp ground cinnamon

2 tsp baking soda

2 tbsp water

¼ tsp salt

½ cup chopped pecans

For cream cheese frosting

16 oz cream cheese

¼  cup butter

1 ½ cup sugar

2 tsp vanilla extract

Directions :

1) Preheat the oven at 350 degrees. Grease and flour two 9 inch round pans. (You could also make one big cake and slice it into two halves).

2) In a large mixing bowl beat carrots with all the wet ingredients. Stir well.

3) Mix in all the dry ingredients very slowly. Stir till just combined. Do not over stir this mixture. 

4) Pour the batter evenly in both the pans.

5) Bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted at the center comes out clean.

6) Let the cakes cool before you apply the frosting on both the layers. Sprinkle pecans on top.

For the frosting just beat all the ingredients till smooth. Try not to taste it, because then you might end up eating half of it before you get a chance to put it on the cake :P .
