    In large bowl, mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. Add shredded carrots; toss to coat. In medium bowl, beat brown sugar, pineapple, 4 eggs, vegetable oil and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Add to dry ingredients; stir just until combined. Stir in chopped pecans.

    Pour half of the cake batter in pan. Spoon cream cheese mixture on top, leaving 1 inch around edges. Spoon remaining cake batter on top.

    Bake about 60 minutes or until cake springs back when gently pressed. Cool in pan 15 minutes, then remove to cooling rack to cool completely, about 1 hour.

    In medium bowl, mix icing sugar, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla and enough milk to make a thick but pourable glaze. Gently pour over cooled cake; top with pecans. Let stand 30 minutes for frosting to set before serving.
