2. Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, combine brown and white sugar, oil, vanilla and eggs; beat well.
4. Add flour mixture in two parts, stirring after each addition. Stir in grated carrots, raisins, chopped walnuts and mix. Pour into prepared pan.
5. Bake your cake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. Let cool.
6. For the frosting: in a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar and mix. Pour in the cream, vanilla and beat for 1 minute more until creamy. Chill covered until ready to frost the cake.
7. When the cake is completely cool, cover it with the frosting and sprinkle nuts on top. Enjoy!
