How to make:

- Preheat oven to 350 ° F (176.6 ° C). Prepare a baking pan of 9x13, spread the whole pan with butter.

- Combine flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, beat the egg with vanilla.

- In a large bowl, stir the canola oil and sugar with the mixer until it reaches a uniform consistency. With low strength, mix 1/3 of flour with mixer. Next, add 1/3 of the eggs. Continue by adding flour and eggs alternately bit by bit. Make sure the mixing stops on the flour.

- Next, insert the carrot into the pastry dough with a spatula, stir gently and gently until the carrots and dough are well blended.

- Pour the dough into a baking sheet and gently rock on the table so that the air bubbles in the dough are lost.

- Bake for 45 to 50 minutes. If the cake is brownish, then the cake has been cooked. If you are in doubt, test the cake maturity using a toothpick. The cake can be said to be ripe if the toothpick has been removed cleanly without any dough attached.

- Next, let the cake cool completely. About an hour, prepare frosting to beautify your carrot cake.

- Stir gently butter and cream cheese using a mixer. Add vanilla, powdered sugar, and salt. Then stirring constantly until the cream cheese dough produces a soft, slightly stiff texture.
