Chop carrots into small pieces. Combine all cake ingredients into food processor and pulse until well combined into small pieces and sticking together. Press the mixture into a loaf pan or spring loaded round pan and place in freezer. For frosting, combine all ingredients into a clean food processor and pulse on high speed until smooth and creamy. Add water if needed for ideal texture. Spread onto the chilled cake and place in refrigerator to chill for 15 minutes.
