THE BEST CARROT CAKE

Steps:

• For the cake: Arrange a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Coat two 9-inch round cake pans with nonstick cooking spray. Line the bottoms with parchment paper rounds and lightly coat the paper with spray.
• Cover the raisins with very hot water and let sit until plump, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain.
• Toast the pecans on a rimmed baking sheet until fragrant and browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool, and then chop 1 cup of the pecans; reserve for the cake batter. Pulse the remaining 1/2 cup pecans in a food processor until very finely ground; reserve for garnish.
• Combine the carrots and buttermilk in a medium bowl. Whisk the flour, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, baking powder, salt and baking soda in a large bowl. Beat the eggs, brown sugar and vanilla extract in a large bowl with an electric mixer on high speed until pale and thick, about 4 minutes. Reduce the speed to medium-low and gradually stream in the oil. Add the dry ingredients in 3 additions, alternating with the carrot mixture, beginning and ending with dry ingredients. Mix until smooth. Fold in the raisins and chopped pecans with a rubber spatula. Scrape the batter evenly into the prepared pans.
• Bake the cakes, rotating the pans halfway through, until a toothpick inserted into the center of each cake comes out clean, 35 to 45 minutes. Transfer the pans to a wire rack and let the cakes cool for 10 minutes. Run a knife around the sides of the cakes and invert onto the rack. Remove the parchment and let the cakes cool completely.
• For the frosting: Beat the cream cheese and butter in a medium bowl with an electric mixer on high speed until smooth, about 1 minute. Beat in the vanilla. Reduce the speed to low and gradually mix in the confectioner' sugar. Increase the speed to high and beat until the frosting until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
• To assemble the cake: When the cakes are completely cool, trim the domes of each cake round with a large serrated knife so the tops are flat. Place one cake, cut-side down, on a platter. Spread 1 1/2 cups of the frosting evenly over top. Place the remaining cake, cut-side down, on top. Spread the top with another 1 1/2 cups of the frosting. Frost the sides of the cake with another 1 1/2 cups frosting and smooth out completely to make an even crumb coat (It's ok if some of the cake shows through. This is just a base layer.) Refrigerate for 30 minutes to let the frosting set.
• Spread the remaining frosting over the top and sides of the cake, swirling decoratively if desired. Sprinkle with the finely ground pecans.

BEST EVER YUMMY CARROT CAKE!!!! (WITH CREAM CHEESE FROSTING)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (If using a commercial convection oven, set it for 325 degrees on high fan).
• FOR THE CAKE:.
• Grease & flour four 12" round pans.
• Whisk first six ingredients in a large bowl until combined(flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt & cinnamon).
• In a separate smaller bowl, lightly beat oil, eggs & vanilla until combined.
• Add the wet mixture to the dry mixture until just combined.
• Carefully stir in the carrots, coconut, walnuts, pineapple & raisins until everything is evenly dispersed.
• Pour the batter into your greased & floured pans.
• Bake in the oven, turning half way through, until a toothpick comes out clean. When you lightly push on the cake it should spring back if it is done. (It takes about 25-30 minutes in a convection oven, but will probably take longer in a household oven).
• Cool the cake on cooling racks until it is room temperature. I cool mine in the fridge to speed things up -- but either way will work.
• FOR THE CREAM CHEESE FROSTING:.
• While the cake is baking & cooling you can make your frosting.
• Beat cream cheese & softened butter in your mixer until it is light & fluffy.
• With your mixer on low, slowly add the powdered sugar a little at a time so it doesn't fly out everywhere.
• Continue beating until the frosting is smooth.
• Add the vanilla to the frosting & continue to mix until combined.
• This frosting should be a thick fluffy consistency so you can spread it easily but it won't run.
• If you want a thinner frosting add less powdered sugar, if you want it thicker add more powdered sugar.
• TO ASSEMBLE CAKE:.
• When the cakes are cool, put a dollop of frosting on each one & spread around so there is an evenly covered layer (about 1/4" - 1/2" thick).
• If you put too much frosting it will squish out from the weight of the stacked cakes.
• Spread the remainder of the frosting on the sides of the cake.
• FOR THE CARROT DECORATIONS:.
• Take two small bowls of frosting.
• To one add green food coloring until you get a nice "carrot stem green" color.
• To the other bowl add red + yellow food coloring to make a nice "carrot orange" color.
• Add extra powdered sugar to each to make the frosting very thick. Then use a pastry bag to pipe little carrots with green stems on the top of the cake.
• You can use a zip-top bag with a tiny hole cut in the corner to pipe out the frosting carrots if you don't have a pastry bag.
