Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package yellow cake mix
- 1 package (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 4 eggs
- 2/3 cup orange juice
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 3 cups grated carrots
- 1/2 cup raisins
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
- Frosting
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup softened butter
- 3–4 cups confectioner’s sugar
- 1–2 Tablespoons orange juice
- 1 Tablespoon grated orange peel
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Combine the cake mix, pudding, and cinnamon in a large bowl.
- In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk the eggs, orange juice, and oil together. Add to the dry ingredients and beat until blended.
- Next, stir in the carrots, raisins, and nuts. The batter will be pretty thick.
- Pour into two greased and floured 8-9” round baking pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until tests done. Cool for 10 minutes, then carefully remove the cake from the pans and cool completely on a wire rack.
- For the frosting, beat the cream cheese and butter until fluffy. Add the confectioner’s sugar, orange juice, and orange peel and beat until nice and smooth. Add a little more sugar if needed. If it’s too thick, you can add a tiny bit more orange juice too.
- Frost the cake.
- Store in the refrigerator
