You don't need a bowl or even beaters for this treat. Just mix all the ingredients in your food processor, then bake—so clever! I can never turn down an excellent cream cheese frosting either, and this is one of the best.

Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 325°F. Place the carrots and pecans in a food processor and process until finely chopped. Add both the sugars, flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, oil, yogurt, eggs and vanilla, and pulse in short bursts until combined.
Step 2
Pour the mixture into a 9" round springform pan lined with non-stick parchment paper and bake for 55–60 minutes or until just cooked when tested with a skewer. Cool in the pan.
Step 3
To make the cream cheese frosting, place the cream cheese, ricotta, sugar, lemon juice and vanilla in a food processor and process until smooth. Spread the frosting over the cooled cake to serve.
