1/4
teaspoon fine sea salt
1 1/2
cups packed brown sugar
4
eggs
2
cups coarsely shredded peeled carrots
1/2

2

2
teaspoons vanilla
1 1/2

Preparation
Heat oven to 350°F. Grease bottoms and sides of 3 (8-inch) round pans with shortening; lightly flour.
In 2-quart saucepan, heat butter over medium heat 4 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until light golden brown. Pour into 2-cup glass measuring cup; cool 5 minutes.
In medium bowl, mix flour, 2 teaspoons cinnamon, the baking powder, baking soda and salt. In large bowl, beat browned butter, brown sugar and eggs with electric mixer on medium speed until blended. Add flour mixture; beat on medium-high speed until well blended. Stir in carrots, raisins and walnuts. Spoon and spread batter evenly in pans (about 1 1/2 cups batter each).
Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes; remove from pans to cooling racks. Cool completely, about 1 hour.
Meanwhile, in large bowl, beat cream cheese and butter with electric mixer on medium-high speed until smooth. Beat in vanilla and 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon. On low speed, beat in powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, until frosting is smooth and creamy.
Frost cake, using 3/4 cup between layers, and remaining frosting to cover side and top of cake. Store covered in refrigerator.
