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 flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.

  3. 3

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, mix together oil and eggs until well combined.

  4. 4

    Combine All Ingredients

    Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry mixture, stirring until just combined. Fold in grated carrots, walnuts, and raisins.

  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

    Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove from pans and cool completely on wire racks.
