- Mix flour, cinnamon, soda, and salt and set aside.
- In a large bowl or mixer beat eggs with sugar until fluffy and lemon colored.
- Mix in oil and freshly grated carrots (best to buy whole carrots and grate them in food processor - the store-bought pre-shredded carrots don't integrate well into the rest of the cake like freshly-grated ones do).
- Add flour mixture and stir to mix well.
- Pour into well greased and floured bundt pan.
- Bake in pre-heated 350 degree oven for 1 hr 15 minutes, or until prick inserted in center comes out clean.
- Cool in pan on rack.
- Make frosting by beating the cream cheese with the softened butter, then add lemon zest.
- From there gradually add the powdered sugar, adding more/less based on the feel.
- Note that as you make the frosting, it'll seem like it will never soften but it does!
- Spread icing on the cooled cake.
- Be sure to store in the refrigerator if you're not going to eat right away, but do set it at room temperature about 30-60 minutes before serving.
