Description

I came up with this recipe when I wanted a small cake just for a family dessert after dinner. Since it’s made in an 8″ square pan, it fits the bill! It’s moist and delicious.

Ingredients

  • 2 Eggs
  • 1 cup Sugar
  • ¾ cups Canola Oil
  • 1 cup Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • ¼ teaspoons Salt
  • 1-½ cup Grated Carrots
  • ¾ cups Chopped Pecans (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla (divided In Half; 1/2 Tsp. For Cake, 1/2 Tsp. For Cream Cheese Frosting)
  • 8 ounces, weight Cream Cheese, Regular Or Reduced-fat (I Like To Use The Reduced-fat)
  • ¼ cups Butter, Softened
  • 1 cup Powdered Sugar

Preparation

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Spray 8″ pan with non-stick spray.

Beat eggs with sugar. Add oil. Mix well. Slowly add flour and the rest of the dry ingredients. Mix well. Stir in carrots, pecans, and vanilla. Pour into pan and bake for 45 minutes. Cool completely.

Cream Cheese Frosting

Beat cream cheese and butter together with electric mixer. Slowly add the powdered sugar and vanilla. Beat well. I like to use my hand held mixer for this. Personal preference I guess. It incorporates a lot of air for a light, fluffy frosting.

Keep refrigerated.

Delicious, moist and easy. And I love it that it is small enough for an any day type of cake. Thanks!
