Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
In a large bowl, mix the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vegetable oil.
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Stir in vanilla extract and grated carrots.
In another bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.

Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan.
For the frosting, beat cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth, then spread over the cooled bars.
