INGREDIENTS
 

  • 4 eggs
  • ¾ cup/180 grams brown sugar
  • cup/65 grams sugar
  • ¾ cup/150 grams canola oil
  • ¼ cup/50 grams olive oil
  • cups/220 grams self rising flour
  • 4 carrots, grated (330 grams)
  • teaspoons cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon nutmeg
  • cup/60 grams chopped pecans

Frosting:

  • 1 cup/200 grams cream cheese
  • tablespoons/50 grams butter
  • ¼ cup/50 grams heavy whipping cream
  • cup/80 grams powdered sugar

INSTRUCTIONS

  • In a bowl, beat eggs, brown and white sugar together for 2 minutes. Then, add canola oil and olive oil and mix well. Gradually add flour and mix until just combined. Next, fold in grated carrots, chopped pecans, cinnamon, and nutmeg until a uniform mixture is obtained.
  • Pour the cake batter into a greased rectangular pan and place it in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) using the turbo setting for about 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs. Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool completely outside of the oven.

Frosting:

  • Melt the butter in the microwave and add powdered sugar, mixing until well combined. Then, add the cream cheese and continue mixing until fully incorporated.
  • In a separate mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in the cream cheese mixture until a stable frosting is obtained.
  • Once the cake has cooled, spread a layer of frosting on top using a palette knife, then sprinkle chopped pecans and cinnamon over the frosting.
