Steps to make Carrot cake:

2. Whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, ginger and chilli until well combined.
3. Whisk oil, sugar, and vanilla until well combined. Then whisk the eggs one at a time.
4. Fold in the dry mix gradually until you get a smooth batter. Then add carrots and pecans and mix well.
5. Divide the batter evenly between the two tins and bake for 40-60 mins (check around the 40 min mark If a skewer comes out clean.
6. Once baked, remove from oven but keep in the cake tins for 5-10 mins. Then transfer to a cooling rack and leave to cool completely.
7. For the icing, beat butter until soft. Add Philadelphia and beat again. Sift over the icing sugar and add vanilla and beat until well combined and smooth and then place in the fridge.
8. (optional) for an extra kick, grate some fresh ginger on a kitchen roll, and then wrap it around and squeeze it over the icing. This should give 2-3 tbsp of sharp ginger juice (adjust to taste). Mix again until well combined.
9. Once the cake is cool, spread half of the icing on the first cake then place the other cake on top and spread the rest of the icing. Decorate with chopped pecans.

Sometimes pecans, pineapple, and shredded coconut is added in the mix. The origins of carrot cake are disputed. Spoon ¼ of the icing on top and spread in an even layer.
