  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups vegetable oil

For the cream cheese frosting:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter at room temperature
  • 1 8-ounce package cream cheese, at room temperature

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  • Fold in the grated carrots, chopped walnuts, and raisins.
  • Grease two 9-inch cake pans and divide the batter evenly between them.
  • Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
  • Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove them from the pans and let them cool completely on a wire rack.
  • While the cakes are cooling, make the cream cheese frosting.
  • In a large bowl, beat together the butter and cream cheese until smooth.
  • Gradually add in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and beat until the frosting is smooth and creamy.
  • Once the cakes are completely cool, place one cake layer on a cake plate or stand.
  • Spread a layer of frosting on top of the cake layer.
  • Place the second cake layer on top of the first, and spread another layer of frosting on top.
  • Use the remaining frosting to cover the sides and top of the cake.
  • Serve and enjoy!
