Carrot Cake
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. 
Ingredients:  4 large eggs, 1 1 /4 cup vegetable oil, 2 cups white sugar, 2 tsp vanilla extract, 2 cups all purpose flour, 2 tsp baking soda, 2 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp salt, 2 tsp cinnamon, 3 cups grated carrots, 1 cup chopped pecans.

In large bowl beat eggs, oil, sugar, and 2 tsp vanilla. Mix in the 2 cups of flour slowly, then the baking soda, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. Stir in the grated carrots then fold in the pecans. 
Pour into greased cake pan ( I used a bundt pan). Bake for 50 to 60 mins. May take as little as 40 mins in some ovens. Check it by inserting toothpick and if it comes out clean, it's done. Allow to cool for 10 mins before removing from pan. 

for frosting:
Ingredients: 1/2 cup butter, 8 oz cream cheese, 4 cups confectioner's sugar, 1 tsp vanilla extract, and 1 cup pecans.
( I halfed this amount for my bundt cake)

In medium bowl, combine butter, cream cheese, confectioner's sugar, and vanilla. Beat untl mixture is smooth and creamy. Stir in the chopped pecans. ( I did not stir in pecans but rather sprinkled on top after frosting cake).
