- Whisk oil, sugar, and vanilla until well combined. Then whisk the eggs one at a time.
- Fold in the dry mix gradually until you get a smooth batter. Then add carrots and pecans and mix well.
- Divide the batter evenly between the two tins and bake for 40-60 mins (check around the 40 min mark If a skewer comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove from oven but keep in the cake tins for 5-10 mins. Then transfer to a cooling rack and leave to cool completely.
- For the icing, beat butter until soft. Add Philadelphia and beat again. Sift over the icing sugar and add vanilla and beat until well combined and smooth and then place in the fridge.
- (optional) for an extra kick, grate some fresh ginger on a kitchen roll, and then wrap it around and squeeze it over the icing. This should give 2-3 tbsp of sharp ginger juice (adjust to taste). Mix again until well combined.
