Preheat oven to 350
Sift the below ingredients 3 times
2 cups of flour, 2 tsps of baking powder, 1 tsp baking soda, 1 tsp of salt, 1 Tbsp of cinnamon
Lightly beat 4 eggs, 1 1/2 cups of vegetable oil, 2 cups of white sugar
Mix together to combine
Slowly mix in your flour mixture
Fold in 3 cups of shredded carrots & 1/2 cup of chopped pecans
Line baking pans with butter and parchment paper
Add cake batter to cake pans
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean
Frosting
16 oz of room temperature cream cheese
2 sticks of room temperature butter
4 cups of powdered sugar
2 tsps of vanilla
Blend for about 2 to 3 minutes until frosting is smooth
Leave frosting at room temperature for easy application

Note: If you lightly ice your cake and put it in the refridgerator for 1/2 an hour, then finish icing, the icing looks really good!
