Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
In a medium sized bowl, mix the dry ingredients together: flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Fold in the grated carrots and set aside.
In another bowl, using a rubber spatula, press the softened cream cheese into the bowl to smooth it out. Then pour in the sugar and incorporate the two ingredients together until smooth. Then whisk in the eggs, vegetable oil and vanilla extract.
Fold the dry ingredients into the wet until no more floury pockets remain. Lastly, fold in the diced prunes.
Pour into a greased loaf pan and bake for 60-65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool completely and then make the frosting.
For the frosting:
Using a hand beater or whisk, mix together softened cream cheese, sugar, vanilla and a pinch of salt until smooth. Spread the frosting on top of the cooled carrot cake and dust with cinnamon if desired.
