The Best Pecan Carrot Cake Recipe

*Please enable subtitles when watching this video*
Today we are making a Pecan Carrot Cake. It’s perfectly moist, soft and tender, packed with flavor, and it’s incredibly easy to make. This is an oil-based cake, which makes it very light and fluffy. And because oil is a liquid fat. This is a very simple and very reliable recipe, and it gives the most delicious results. Both the texture and the flavor of this carrot cake are SOOOO GOOD - and with the luscious, fluffy cream cheese frosting on top, the whole thing is simply divine.
I really hope you’ll love it as much as I do. Happy baking! :)

INSTRUCTIONS
Carrot Cake:
1. Adjust the oven rack to the middle position, pre-heat the oven to 350ºF (180ºC) and line a 8-inch square baking pan with parchment/baking paper.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the light brown sugar, oil, eggs, salt, vanilla extract and orange juice until well combined.
3. Sift in the AP flour and Almond flour, add baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg.
4. Whisk everything together into a smooth batter with no flour clumps.
5. Add the grated carrots roughly chopped pecans and seedless raisin, and fold them into the batter until they're evenly distributed throughout.
(Tip: Seedless raisins need to be chopped coarsely.)
6. Transfer the batter into the lined baking pan.
7. Bake at 350ºF (180ºC) for about 35 minutes or until well risen, golden-brown on top and an inserted toothpick/cake tester comes out clean.
8. Allow the cake to cool in the baking pan for about 10-15 minutes, then transfer it out of the pan onto a wire rack to cool completely.
(Tip: It’s important that your cake is cooled completely before you spread the cream cheese frosting on top.)
Cream cheese frosting:
1. In a large bowl, whisk the cream cheese until it's smooth and looser in texture.
2. Add the heavy cream, powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and whisk until soft peaks form.
3. Spread the cream cheese frosting on top of the cooled carrot cake all the way to the edges, using a small spatula or the back of a spoon to add some decorative swirls and swoops.
4. Sprinkle on some extra chopped walnuts as decoration.
Storage:
The carrot cake keeps well in a closed container in the fridge for 3-4 days.
