Perfect Carrot Cake everytime

This is absolutely the best recipe for desert that I have. It has come out perfect nearly every time I've made it (and I've nearly screwed it up a few times too and it still came out good)

2 cups flour
2 cups sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
4 eggs
3 cups finely chopped carrots
3/4 cup oil
1 cup finely chopped pecans (optional)
1 cream cheese frosting recipe (see my next post)

Take 2 8" cake pans and grease with shortening or butter. Line the bottoms with wax paper. Grease the wax paper. (Do a good job or you might end up with paper in your cake)

combine liquids, including carrots in mixer. Add dry ingredients. Pour into lined pans.

Bake at 350f for 30-35 minutes. Cool on racks for at least 10 minutes. Stuffing them in the fridge for a half hour is better so the cream cheese icing doesn't melt.

Ice and eat.
