Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Heat the oven to 350F (176C). Grease 7 inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper then grease the top of the paper.

* Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, salt, and the cinnamon until well blended.

* Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk the oil, sugars, and vanilla. Whisk in the egg until combined.

* Step 4

Switch to a large rubber spatula. Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl then add the dry ingredients in 3 parts, gently stirring until they disappear and the batter is smooth. Stir in the carrots, nuts, and raisins.

* Step 5

Pour into cake pan. Bake until the tops of the cake layers are springy when touched and when a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, 30t to 40 minutes.

* Step 6

Let cool in pan for 15 minutes then turn out onto cooling rack, peel off parchment paper and cool completely. (If it's stuck to the bottom of the pan, leave the cake pan upside down and allow gravity to do its thing).

* Step 7

In a large bowl, beat cream cheese with a handheld mixer on medium speed until creamy, about 1 minute.

* Step 8

Beat in the powdered sugar, a spoon at a time until fluffy. Pour in cream and beat on medium speed for 1 minute. Chill covered until ready to frost cake.
