Ingredients

Cooking spray
3 c. all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
2 tsp. baking soda
2 tsp. cinnamon
2 c. granulated sugar
1 1/2 c. vegetable oil
4 large eggs
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
3 c. grated carrots
1 c. pecans, roughly chopped, plus more for garnish
1 c. rasisins
1 (8-oz.) block cream cheese, softened
1/2 c. (1 stick) butter, softened
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
4 c. powdered sugar

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350° and grease 2 - 8" round cake pans with cooking spray. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, salt, baking soda, and cinnamon.
In another large bowl with a hand mixer (or in the bowl of a stand mixer), beat together sugar and oil until well combined. Add eggs one at a time beating well after each addition, then add vanilla. Mix in dry ingredients until just combined. Stir in carrots, pecans, and raisins.
Divide batter evenly between prepared pans. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean, 45 minutes. Let cool 15 minutes then invert cakes onto a cooling rack and let cool completely.
Make frosting: In a large bowl with a hand mixer, beat together cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add vanilla and powdered sugar and beat again until smooth and a spreadable consistency.
Frost cake as desired and garnish with pecans.
