I found this recipe for carrot cake on https://www.inspiredtaste.net/25753/carrot-cake-recipe/
It is moist and so good and it's better to underbake it.
Carrot Cake
2 cups (250 grams) all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 1/4 cups (295 ml) canola or other vegetable oil
1 cup (200 grams) granulated sugar
1 cup (200 grams) lightly packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 large eggs
3 cups (300 grams) grated peeled carrots (5 to 6 medium carrots)
1 cup (100 grams) coarsely chopped pecans
1/2 cup (65 grams) raisins
Heat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (176C). Grease two 9-inch round cake pans and line the bottom with parchment paper then grease the top of the paper. Or, grease and flour the bottom and sides of both pans.
In a medium bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, salt, and the cinnamon until well blended.
In a separate bowl, whisk the oil, sugars, and vanilla. Whisk in eggs, one at a time, until combined.
Switch to a large rubber spatula. Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl then add the dry ingredients in 3 parts, gently stirring until they disappear and the batter is smooth. Stir in the carrots, nuts, and raisins.
Divide the batter between the prepared cake pans. Bake until the tops of the cake layers are springy when touched and when a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, 35 to 45 minutes. If making cupcakes, bake for 14-18 minutes.
Cool cakes in pans for 15 minutes then turn out onto cooling racks, peel off parchment paper and cool completely.
I found the recipe for the cream cheese frosting on https://sugarspunrun.com/cream-cheese-frosting/
Cream Cheese Frosting
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp salt
4 cups powdered sugar
Combine butter and cream cheese in mixer and beat until creamy. Add vanilla and salt and stir well to combine. Add powdered sugar and mix on low until combined.
You can use the same recipe to make cupcakes. Fill the cups 2/3 full and bake for 16 minutes.
