Method
Cake Preparation
Prepare the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9-inch round cake pans.
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Mix well.
Combine Mixtures
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in Carrots and Nuts
Gently fold in the grated carrots and chopped walnuts (if using) until evenly distributed.
Bake the Cake
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool and Serve
Once baked, let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then turn them out onto wire racks to cool completely before frosting.
