Carrot Cake Recipe

This cake definitely did not disappoint.  It’s moist, full of flavor, and beautiful.  I thought that I would end up sending some of it to work with James but we kept the entire cake here and didn’t share it with anyone!  That rarely happens.

For the cakes:


2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting pans
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. cinnamon
3/4 tsp. coarse salt
1/2 tsp. ground ginger
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
3 sticks unsalted butter, at room temperature, plus more for pans
1 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup sugar
3 large eggs, at room temperature
2 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 cup water
1 lb. carrots, 8-10 medium carrots, peeled and shredded, about 2 3/4 cups
2 cups pecans, divided (1 cup finely chopped, 1 cup coarsely chopped)

    Is that a typo? Two pounds of powdered sugar seems like an awful lot for the cream cheese frosting.
