In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined and do not overmix. Fold in the finely shredded carrots and pecan pieces. Pour batter into prepared pan.


Bake cake for 30 to 40 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Do not overbake, which will dry out cake. My cake took exactly 34 minutes.

For the topping:


Beat the cream cheese and butter together until soft and creamy.
Add icing sugar and beat until thick and combined. Add 2 Tablespoons heavy cream,lemon juice and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract.

NB: This recipe only makes one layer ,you have to follow the same introductions to make another one
