Amazingly Delicious Carrot Cake

For the cake:
1. Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Choose the pan you want to use and butter it and dust it with flour or if making cupcakes, line the cupcake molds with liners.

2. Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon.

3. Add the sugar, oil and eggs and mix until smooth.

4. Add the grated carrots and nuts and stir to combine.

5. Pour into prepared pan and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. If using a 9×13″ pan, bake for about 45-50 minutes; for 8″ rounds, bake for about 30-35 minutes; and for cupcakes, bake for about 15-18 minutes.

6. Cool in the pan about 20 minutes and then turn out onto a wire wrack to cool completely.

For the frosting:
1. In a mixer with the whisk attachment, combine the butter, cream cheese and vanilla until smooth.

2. Slowly add the powdered sugar until the frosting is thick and holds its shape.

3. Frost your cake and enjoy!
