• 2 eggs
• 3/4 cup vegetable oil
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Preparation method

Prep: 30 mins | Cook: 30 mins

1. Preheat toaster oven to 325 degrees F. Coat a 9×11-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray, then sprinkle with flour and tap off excess.

2. Combine eggs, oil, white sugar, and vanilla in a mixing bowl, incorporating well. Then add flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Fold in the carrots and pecans, then transfer batter into the baking dish.

3. Cover dish with a length of aluminum foil to prevent the top from browning too fast. Bake for 30 minutes, then remove foil and bake for 10 minutes more. Cool.

4. Combine all frosting ingredients in a mixing bowl and whip until smooth. Frost cake as one layer, or quarter and stack to create a layered cake.
