Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) with a rack in the centre. Butter two 9-inch round pans, line the bases with parchment and lightly butter the parchment.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, both sugars, baking soda, baking powder, spices and salt, breaking up any brown sugar lumps.
3. In another bowl, whisk the oil, eggs and applesauce until well combined. Add to the dry ingredients and fold with a spatula until combined.
4. Fold in the grated carrots, pecans and raisins (if using) until evenly mixed.
5. Divide the batter between the pans and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean.
6. Rest the cakes in the pans for 15 to 20 minutes, then move to a wire rack and cool completely before frosting.
7. Spread about a quarter of the cream cheese frosting on the first layer. Place the second layer upside down on top and lightly crumb-coat the cake with frosting.
8. Spread more frosting over the top and sides. Pipe puffs of frosting around the top edge with a large star tip and scatter the remaining pecans around the edges.
