Just the best carrot cake

My creative, genius daughter is having a cake party over at 'A Pretty Life in the Suburbs'. Of course, mom wants to join in on the fun so here is a recipe that I have been making for years. Some people have told me it's the best carrot cake they have ever had!

This is an old recipe I got from my mom. It's very moist and yummy and worth every calorie! I like to make the cake a day ahead, cover it in saran wrap and let it sit. It seems to make it even moister.

1 1/2 cups cooking oil
2 cups sugar
4 eggs, beaten
2 cups flour
2 teaspoons cinnamon
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons baking powder
3 cups grated carrots
1 cup chopped pecans - toasted

Beat oil and sugar well. Add eggs, beat well. Sift flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder and blend with egg mixture. Fold in carrots and pecans. Pour into bundt pan and bake at 350 degrees for at least one hour.

Icing
8 oz package cream cheese
4 tablespoons butter
2 1/2 cups icing sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla

Beat well and drizzle over cake.
