Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. Mix well.

- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
- Bake for approximately 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
- Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Cream Cheese Frosting
No carrot cake is complete without a generous slather of cream cheese frosting. Here's how to make it:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and butter until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, beating until smooth and fluffy.
Assembly and Serving
Once the cake has cooled, carefully remove it from the pan. Place it on a serving plate and generously frost the top and sides with the cream cheese frosting.
For an extra touch of flavor and decoration, you can sprinkle some additional chopped walnuts or shredded coconut on top of the frosting.
This carrot cake is best served chilled. Keep any leftovers refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
