Como fazer Barb's Best Carrot Cake

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 13x9 inch cake pan (or a disposable foil pan).
In a large bowl, cream together 2 cups granulated sugar and 4 large eggs until light and fluffy.
Slowly pour in 1 cup vegetable oil, mixing until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking soda, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Stir in 2 cups grated carrots, 1 cup chopped walnuts, and 1 cup raisins (optional).
Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool completely before frosting.
For the frosting: In a medium bowl, beat together 8 ounces of softened cream cheese and ½ cup (1 stick) softened butter or margarine until smooth.
Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon lemon zest.
Gradually add 3 cups powdered sugar, beating until smooth and creamy.
Frost the cooled cake and enjoy!
