Preparation

First prepare the cake.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Combine all cake ingredients (brown sugar, oil, eggs, flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, carrots and pecans) in a large bowl.
Pour batter into a 13x9 inch cake pan or two 8 inch round cake pans that have been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.
Bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes (if using 13x9) or until toothpick comes out clean but cake is still moist.
Allow cake to cool and prepare cream cheese frosting.
In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, powdered sugar, butter and vanilla.
Cover cooled cake with frosting, slice and serve.
You may want to keep it in the fridge if you aren't going to be eating it right away because of the cream cheese in the frosting.
