Cake Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

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

    Mix Dry Ingredients

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

  3. 3

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, mix the oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.

  4. 4

    Combine Mixtures

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

    Add Carrots and Pecans

    Fold in the grated carrots and crushed pecans until evenly distributed.

    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.

    Cool the Cakes

    Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then turn them out onto wire racks to cool completely.
