🥮 How To Make Bobby Flay Carrot Cake

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and prepare two 8-inch round cake pans by greasing, flouring, and lining with parchment paper.
2. Finely chop pineapple in a food processor and set aside.
3. In a stand mixer, beat eggs briefly, then add oil, melted butter, vanilla, carrots, chopped pineapple, and grated fresh ginger. Mix until combined.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, sugars, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt.
5. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
6. Gently fold in crystallized ginger and pecans.
7. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and bake until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 40 to 55 minutes. Allow cakes to cool in pans for 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Remove parchment paper before frosting.

Fluff:

1. In a small saucepan, heat water, corn syrup, sugar, and a vanilla bean to 246°F. Remove the vanilla bean before adding it to egg whites.
2. In a clean mixing bowl, whip egg whites, salt, and cream of tartar until foamy, then gradually add sugar until soft peaks form.
3. Slowly pour in the hot syrup while mixing, then beat until fluffy. Mix in vanilla seeds and transfer fluff to a bowl.
4. In the clean mixing bowl, combine cream cheese and butter until fluffy, then add powdered sugar and whip until light.
5. Fold in 2 cups of the prepared fluff and vanilla, and whip until combined. Refrigerate if too soft before using it as frosting.
