Baking Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.

  3. 3

    Mix Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.

  4. 4

    Combine Mixtures

    Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry mixture, stirring until just combined.

  5. 5

    Add Carrots and Nuts

    Fold in the grated carrots, chopped walnuts (or pecans), and raisins (if using).

  6. 6

    Bake the Cakes

    Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

  7. 7

    Cool the Cakes

    Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then, transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
