-
2 large eggs

Directions
Heat oven to 350º. Prepare your pan by greasing and flouring or by using a baking spray containing flour. Combine all dry ingredients in a bowl, and toss with shredded carrots to combine and coat. Combine oil, butter, sour cream, eggs and vanilla in bowl; beat until combined thoroughly, scraping down the sides of the bowl occasionally. Add wet mixture to flour mixture; stir by hand until just combined, using a silicone spatula to scrape along the sides and bottom of the bowl to ensure all the dry ingredients are incorporated.. Stir in walnuts, if using. Pour into pan. Bake 25-30 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan 5-10 minutes before removing cakes.
For frosting, combine cream cheese and butter and microwave until very soft and melted, 10-20 seconds. Stir to combine. Add in vanilla and powdered sugar, stirring until smooth and combined. Use milk to thin the glaze to a desired consistency for coating the cake. Coat each cake or cakes by drizzling the frosting over the tops. Serve immediately, or refrigerate until serving.
