Cake Ingredients

Method

Cake Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

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

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

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

  3. 3

    Combine Wet Ingredients

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

  4. 4

    Combine Mixtures

    Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.

  5. 5

    Add Carrots and Nuts

    Fold in the grated carrots, chopped walnuts, and candied ginger until evenly distributed.

  6. 6

    Bake the Cake

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

  7. 7

    Cool the Cakes

    Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove from pans and let them cool completely on wire racks.
