Cake Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

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

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

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

  3. 3

    Combine Wet Ingredients

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

  4. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in the grated carrots and walnuts (if using).

  5. 5

    Bake the Cakes

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

  6. 6

    Cool the Cakes

    Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
