A friend and I wanted to bake something neither of us had made before, so we went with a carrot cake. Trusting Paula Deen to have the best recipe, and channeling the South on this 90 degree day, we made a terrific cake!
First we mixed the dry ingredients with the eggs and oil (LOTS of oil)...
Then we mixed in the shaved carrots and chopped pecans...
Separated the batter into two pans and baked the for 40 minutes...
Let them cool...
Made the frosting out of cream cheese and powdered sugar (skipped the butter)...
And went to town on icing the cake...
It turned out so well! It was moist and flavorful and had a great crunch from the nuts. The sweet icing perfectly complements the savory flavors of the cake. Although it looks like it's melting of the plate, I think we did a great job!
