Anyone have a good recipe for a super moist carrot cake?  My son is asking for a carrot cake for his birthday.  If anyone has had the carrot cake from Blue Moon BBQ this is what I'm aiming for.

Hi, my recipe is very similar, but instead I use Brown sugar, instead of raisins 2 halfs of peaches cut in small squares (the ones with almíbar) and 1/4 of coco the mix of flavors is amaizing!!

Carrot Cake

Cake

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
4 eggs
1 ¼ cups oil
2-3 cups finely grated carrots

Sift together first 5 ingredients, set aside.

In a large bowl combine eggs, oil & carrots, mix well.

Add dry ingredients to the wet, beat well.

Pour into 2 grease & floured pans. (I just use non-stick cooking spray). Bake at 350 for 45 minutes or until cake test done. Cool in pan for 10 minutes. Remove to wire rack & cool completely.

(side note- I don’t like raisins so when I copied this from my friend I didn’t even write them on the recipe. If you do like, just add a ½ cups. Also I have another recipe that calls for 8oz drained pineapple & ½ cup coconut).

Frosting/Icing

1 - 8 ounce package of cream cheese, softened
1 stick butter (1/2 cup) softened
1 - 1 pound bag powdered sugar
1 cup chopped pecans

In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese & butter until light. Gradually add in powdered sugar beating constantly until smooth. Stir in pecans.
