- Combine flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. In a separate bowl, beat eggs, sugar and oil.
- With mixer running on low speed, slowly add the flour mixture.
- Blend in vanilla, carrot, raisins (if adding) and pecans.
- Pour batter into a well greased 8 x 12 inch pan.
- Bake in 325°F oven for 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
- When cake is cool, spread with cream cheese icing. When cake is frosted, sprinkle a small handful of pecans on top of cake.
- Note: Chopped peanuts or walnuts may be substituted for pecans.
- Note: I double this recipe and use a 13x9 pan.
- Note: Prep time does not include shredding the carrots.
