Carrot Cake

Dry ingredients
1½ cups allpurpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda

Wet Ingredients
2 eggs
½ cup vegetable oil
¾ cup light brown sugar
½ cup granulated sugar

1½ cups grated carrots
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon ground ginger
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
¾ cup chopped walnuts

Preheat oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit. In a bowl combine dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. You may add cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg. Whisk ingredients.

In mixing bowl, add eggs, vegetable oil, brown sugar and granulated sugar. Mix ingredients. Carefully, add dry ingredients to the mixing bowl. Add vanilla extract. Add grated carrots. Fold in walnuts. Spray baking dish with a nonstick floured baking spray. I used an 11x8 casserole dish.

Place the batter in a preheated 350degree Fahrenheit oven for 30 to 35 minutes until done. Stick a toothpick into the center of the cake to check for doneness. If the toothpick comes out clean, the cake is done. Allow cake to fully cool 30 minutes to 1 hour before adding frosting. Cake may be cooled on a rack.

Cream Cheese frosting

8 ounces of Philadelphia cream cheese
8 tablespoons (1 stick) salted butter
2 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ finely chopped walnuts

Cream butter and cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla. Mix until fully incorporated and creamy. Spread frosting over sides and top of cake. Sprinkle walnuts over the top. Walnuts can be finely chopped with a knife or food processor.
