Time 1h10m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup olive oil
4 eggs
1 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
3 cups shredded carrots
½ cup chopped walnuts
½ cup raisins
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
¼ cup butter, softened
1 cup confectioners' sugar, or more to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease two 8-inch cake pans.
  • Mix olive oil, eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract together. Combine flour, salt, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and nutmeg in a separate bowl.
  • Stir flour mixture into oil mixture until well blended. Fold in carrots, walnuts, and raisins. Portion batter evenly between the cake pans.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until tops spring back with lightly touched, 25 to 35 minutes. Adjust temperature if cakes are browning too quickly. Let cool completely, about 30 minutes.
  • Beat cream cheese and butter together just until smooth. Add confectioners' sugar; beat until smooth. Spread frosting over the cooled cakes.
