Method

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, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.

  3. 3

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, mix the vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.

  4. 4

    Combine Mixtures

    Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Fold in the grated carrots and chopped nuts.

  5. 5

    Bake the Cake

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

  6. 6

    Cool and Serve

    Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely before frosting.
