Carrot cake gets a bad rap because it can so often be too dry. My homemade carrot cake sheet cake is so incredibly moist because of one secret ingredient: vegetable oil!

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 cups grated carrots
  • 1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

For the frosting:

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 cups confectioners’ sugar
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

How To Make Carrot Cake Sheet Cake

Preheat oven to 350º F and lightly grease a baking sheet with butter or non-stick spray.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt.
In a large bowl or mixer, beat cream together vegetable oil, melted butter, sugar and brown sugar for 3-4 minutes, or until fluffy and smooth.
Beat in eggs and vanilla extract, then gradually add dry ingredients, mixing until just incorporated.
Fold in carrots, raisins and pecans.

Pour batter into prepared baking sheet (13×18 inches) and place in oven. Bake for 24-26 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
Remove from oven and let cool.
While cake bakes, beat together cream cheese and butter for 3 minutes, or until fluffy.
Beat in vanilla extract and salt, then gradually mix in powdered sugar until desired consistency is reached.
Once cake is cool, top with frosting and slice into squares.
