How to Make Carrot Cake Ii

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch tube pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine 2 cups grated carrots and 4 large eggs, adding one egg at a time and mixing well after each addition.
  3. Add 1 cup vegetable oil and mix until combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, and 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in four additions, mixing until just combined after each addition. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in 1 cup chopped walnuts.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. While the cake is cooling, prepare the frosting: In a medium bowl, beat together 8 ounces of softened cream cheese, 1/2 cup (1 stick) softened unsalted butter, and 3 cups powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
  10. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and beat until well combined.
  11. Once the cake is completely cool, frost generously and enjoy!
