Instructions
For Cake
- Heat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

- Pour into a pan.
- Bake for 30 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in the centre comes out clean.

For Icing
- For the icing, a bowl of medium size beat together sugar and butter until creamy.
- Add vanilla extract and cream cheese and beat until smooth and smooth.
- Sprinkle with pecans and carrots.
Notes
- Before icing the cake, let it cool fully. For the best shape, arrange the top layer right-side up on a plate and the bottom layer upside-down. Brush the cake lightly to get rid of any stray crumbs.
- Before icing the entire cake, spread a thin coating of icing on the sides to "set" any crumbs that may still be there.
- Adjust the baking time when baking a loaf or cupcakes so a wooden toothpick put into the centre comes out clean.
