yield: 8 slices of cake

Ingredients

For the Cake:
2 large eggs, at room temperature
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup canola, vegetable, or coconut oil (I used melted coconut oil because I love the slight flavor it adds to the overall cake)
1/2 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon all-spice
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups coarsely grated carrots
1/2 cup raisins, optional
1/2 cup diced nuts, optional (I used pistachios with great results)

For the Cream Cheese Frosting:
6 oz cream cheese, VERY soft
1/4 cup unsalted butter, VERY soft
1 tablespoon vanilla pure extract
2 cups confectioners’ sugar, sifted

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees (F). Generously grease a 9″ springform pan; set aside.
  2. In a large bowl combine the eggs, granulated sugar, oil, pumpkin, brown sugar, buttermilk, vanilla, and spices; beat well to combine. Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to the wet mixture; stir until just combined. Batter will be on the thicker side but resist the urge to over mix! Add in the carrots, raisins, and nuts; gently fold together until incorporated.
  3. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake cake for 42-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and set, and a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool for 20 minutes in the pan, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  4. While the cake is cooling, make your frosting!
