microwave-safe bowl. Cook uncovered on High until fruit is plumped, about
20 seconds. Stir well.

allspice in work bowl. Process to “sift,” about 5 seconds. Add pecans and
chop nuts coarsely using on/off turns. Transfer to sheet of waxed paper.

Place eggs, then 1 1/2 cups sugar into work bowl. Process until mixture is
thick and light, about 1 minute. Add butter and vanilla. Process until
mixture is fluffy, scraping down sides of work bowl as necessary, about 1
minute. Transfer egg mixture to large bowl.

Shredding Disk: Stand carrot pieces in feed tube. Shred using firm
pressure. Mix carrots into dried fruit mixture. Add 1/4 Cup dry ingredients
and toss to coat, separating fruit pieces. Stir fruit mixture gently into
egg mixture. Fold in remaining dry ingredients.

10 minutes. Turn cake out onto rack and cool completely. (Can be prepared 2
