Steps

1Carrot Cake
2Preheat your oven to 325°F and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
3In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, allspice, and salt.
4To a large bowl, add eggs and whisk until lightly beaten. Add sugar and vegetable oil and beat until well-mixed. Add flour mixture and use a wooden spoon to stir until just mixed.
5Add carrots and stir until evenly distributed, scraping the sides and bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula to make sure all of the batter is mixed.
6Pour batter into prepared baking dish and smooth the top. Bake for about 50 minutes to 1 hour, until the center of the cake looks set and a toothpick or cake tester inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
7Cool cake in the pan until completely cool.
8Cream Cheese Frosting
9In a large bowl, beat cream cheese, butter, and vanilla until well-combined and smooth. Slowly add sifted powdered sugar and beat until all the sugar is incorporated and frosting is smooth and creamy.
10Spread frosting over the top of the cake. Chill before serving if desired, and enjoy!
