Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5 loaf pan with non-stick spray and consider lining it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt until thoroughly combined.
- In a larger bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together until fully mixed, then slowly incorporate the vegetable oil and vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the flour mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
- Using a spatula, fold in the grated carrots, raisins, and crushed pecans until evenly incorporated.
Baking
- Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan and bake for about 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Once baked, allow the cake to cool in the pan for roughly 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Frosting
- For the cream cheese frosting, combine softened cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, heavy cream (or milk), and vanilla in a mixer until smooth and creamy. Adjust with more liquid for your desired consistency.
- Once the cake has cooled, generously frost it with the delightful cream cheese topping and add some additional pecans on top if desired.
