6 – Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

7 – Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 15-20 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.

8 – Once the cake is completely cooled, spread the Betty Crocker Cream Cheese Frosting over the top, letting it drizzle down the sides, and sprinkle with chopped pecans.

Pro Tips for Success:

  • Don’t Overmix the Batter: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, stir until just combined. Overmixing can make the cake dense.
  • Add More Flavor: Add a bit of ginger to the frosting for a twist on the classic carrot cake.
  • Heat The Frosting: Betty Crocker Cream Cheese Frosting makes this recipe so much easier. Heat it up in a bowl, spread it on, and let it drizzle down for a gorgeous finish.
