In a mixing bowl, mix sugar, vegetable oil, and eggs. In another bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, salt, baking soda, and cinnamon. I like using all-purpose flour, but you can substitute some of the all-purpose flour for whole wheat or white whole wheat flour.

Steps to make Carrot Cake:
  1. For the carrot cake preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a 9x13 pan inch pan.
  2. In a large bowl, beat together egg, oil, white sugar, and 2 teaspoon vanilla. Mix in flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Stir in carrots. Fold in pecans. Pour in prepared pans.
  3. Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted to the center of cake comes out clean. Let cool in pan for 10 minutes. Then turn out onto a wire rack and cool completely.
  4. To make cream cheese frosting: in a medium bowl, combine butter, cream cheese, confectioners sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Beat until mixture is smooth and creamy. Stir in the chopped pecans. Frost the cooled cake.

For a gluten-free carrot cake, swap the flour for your favorite gluten-free flour blend. Baking soda helps the cake to rise. Salt, cinnamon, and vanilla extract make the cake taste amazing. Oil keeps the cake nice and moist — any neutral flavored oil will work. While some recipe historians trace the roots of carrot cake back to medieval times, we disagree.
