Directions
Gently heat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch Bundt pan so the cake doesn’t stick. In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, tomato soup, water, eggs, canola oil, grated carrot, and pecans. Stir everything together until you get a smooth batter. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and pop it in the oven. Bake for about 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Once it’s done, let the cake cool for a bit in the pan, then carefully flip it out onto a wire rack to cool completely. While the cake is cooling, mix the powdered sugar with lemon juice until it’s nice and smooth, then drizzle the glaze over the top before serving.
Best Serving Ideas
Serve this cake slightly chilled or at room temperature with a dollop of cream cheese frosting. It pairs wonderfully with a cup of hot tea or coffee. For a festive touch, garnish with chopped nuts or a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
Leftover Care Tips
Store the cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep it fresh for up to five days. You can also freeze individual slices wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and foil for up to three months. Thaw at room temperature before serving.
