How to cook deliciously - Carrot Cake

1. Stage

Place a rack in middle of oven; preheat to 350°. Grease 3 (8") round cake pans with cooking spray. In a large bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and baking soda.

2. Stage

In another large bowl, using a handheld mixer on medium-high speed (or in the large bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment), beat granulated sugar and oil until well combined. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then beat in vanilla. Fold in dry ingredients until just combined, then fold in carrots, raisins, and pecans.

3. Stage

Divide batter among prepared pans. Bake cakes until a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool 15 minutes, then invert cakes onto wire racks and let cool completely.

4. Stage

In a large bowl, using handheld mixer on medium-high speed, beat cream cheese, butter, and salt until smooth. Add confectioners' sugar and vanilla and continue to beat until smooth and spreadable.

5. Stage

Using a serrated knife, cut off tops of cakes so surface is flat, if needed. Arrange 1 cake on a platter. Spread top with frosting. Top with the second cake, more frosting, then the third cake. Spread remaining frosting over top and sides of cake. Sprinkle with pecans.
