* I recommend
Cup4Cup Multipurpose Flour if making this cake gluten-free.
* Assuming you have your food processor is 11 cups or more (a standard ‘large’ food processor), the easiest way to make this cake is to chop and mix it all in the same bowl. Alternatively, you can chop carrots and pecans in a smaller food processor and mix the rest in a bowl with a stand or hand mixer.
