Honey's Carrot Cake Recipe

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups sugar
1 1/2 cups vegetable oil
4 large eggs
4 cups grated carrots
4 cups finely chopped pecans
2 tablespoons vanilla extract
Cream Cheese Frosting

Preparation

Step 1

Combine flour and next 3 ingredients in a bowl; set aside.
Beat sugar and oil in a large bowl at medium speed with an electric mixer until combined. Add eggs, one at a time, beating just until yellow disappears. Gradually add flour mixture, beating just until combined. Stir in carrots, pecans, and vanilla.
Pour batter evenly into 3 greased and floured 9-inch round cake pans. Bake at 350° for 28 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pans on wire racks 10 minutes. Remove from pans; cool completely on wire racks.
Spread Cream Cheese Frosting between layers and on top and sides of cake. Chill at least 1 hour before serving.
