Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9 x 13-inch baking pan with cooking spray and set aside.
- Sift together the flour, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves and salt. Add the oil and eggs, one at a time. Beat with an electric mixer until completely combined. Add carrots and vanilla extract; mix well. If using, fold in nuts, raisins, coconut, or drained pineapple.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared pan. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. Set on a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once the cake is completely cool, prepare the frosting. Cream together butter, cream cheese and vanilla. Slowly add the confectioners' sugar and mix until completely blended. Add the milk, one tablespoon at a time, until the frosting reaches the desired consistency. I use about 2 tablespoons of milk total, but you may need slightly less or slightly more.
- Spread the frosting on top of the cool cake. Garnish with chopped nuts, if desired.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare three 8 inch cake pans* by lightly coating with cooking spray and lining with parchment paper on the bottom.
- Beat the eggs, granulated sugar, brown sugar, oil, buttermilk, vanilla, and pineapple together in a large bowl.
- In another bowl combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, salt and nutmeg. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until incorporated.
- Fold in the carrots, pecans and raisins just until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pans. Bake on the center oven rack until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, about 25-30 minutes. Allow cakes to cool in the pans for 10-15 minutes before inverting them onto a wire rack to cool completely.

MAMA'S BEST CARROT CAKE
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°. Butter and flour a 10-inch tube cake pan.
- Whisk the corn oil and sugar together in a large bowl. Sift together the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt (I do this by putting all these ingredients into a fine mesh strainer and shaking and stirring the mixture into another mixing bowl).
- Add half the dry ingredients into the sugar-oil mixture and mix together. Add one egg, then more of the flour mixture, then another egg and so on until you have mixed together all the eggs and flour with the sugar mixture.
- Stir in the carrots, pecans, and raisins, pour into the prepared tube pan and bake for 70 minutes. Cool upright in the pan on a cooling rack.
- When the cake is cooled, make the frosting: Using a mixer, beat the soft butter until it is creamy. Add the cream cheese and beat until blended. Add the sugar and the vanilla and mix well. (If it feels a little too soft to spread, pop it into the refrigerator until it firms up a bit).
- Remove the cake from the tube pan, put on your prettiest plate and frost. If you want to be just like my mama, garnish with shaved carrot curls and little edible flowers!
