- Chop the raisins and pecans(or other, if you prefer). Then, throw into bowl..
- To finish up this bowl, chop the crystalized ginger. The ginger might stick together, but eh…who cares?.
- Now, you will mix Bowl #1, 2, and 3. Typically, toss all ingredients into the largest bowl..
- Mix/Stir all ingredients in bowl. (If it looks like cheese soup, you're doing it right!).
- Now grab two 9-inch circular baking pans. At this time, preheat your oven too 400°..
- Add enough oil to smear every inch of the pan with your finger..
- Add flour to coat the pan. *Pour flour and gently tap the bottom of the pan, so that flour spreads over pan. This should coat whole pan!.
- Pour Carrot Cake batter into both pans..
- Place Carrot Cake batter into preheated oven, bake in 400° for 10 minutes. Start the timer!.
- After 10 minutes, turn the oven down to 350° and bake for 30-35 minutes..
- Let's begin the frosting! You'll need the following ingredients: These will be your Icing of the Carrot Cake ingredients!.
- Mix together with mixer. Don't forget to lick the spoon;).
- After 30-35 minutes, your Carrot Cake should be done. *If you're not sure the cake is ready, insert a knife. If no batter shows up on the knife's blade…it's done!:).
- After you've taken the Carrot Cake out of the oven, let cool for 10 minutes. You don't want the icing to melt:(.
- After Carrot Cake is cooled, you can start frosting the two-layered cake! Make sure you get on-top, and in-between..
- You're all finished and the Carrot Cake is ready to serve!:).
