  • Preheat the oven to 180 degrees or 350 F.
  • Grease a cake pan with butter. Sprinkle a little flour inside to coat the entire pan.
  • Put 9 tablespoons of butter, brown sugar, and regular sugar in a bowl. Beat with a mixer on medium speed for 5 minutes until everything is well mixed.
  • Add the eggs and egg whites, one at a time. Beat very well after adding them until the mixture is fluffy and a pale yellow. Add the 2 teaspoons of vanilla.
  • Mix the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.
  • Add the flour mixture and the milk to the egg mixture, alternating between the two little by little.
  • Add the grated carrots and nuts (if desired).
  • Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Let it cool in the pan for a few minutes, then unmold and place on a rack.
  • Prepare the cream cheese frosting. Place the cream cheese with 1/4 cup of softened butter, 2 teaspoons of vanilla, and 1/8 teaspoon of salt in a bowl. Gradually add 2 cups of powdered sugar. Beat with a mixer until everything is smooth and add the other 3/4 cup of powdered sugar.
  • Cover with frosting and let it cool for 30 minutes.
