Cake Ingredients
Method
Cake Preparation
Preheat 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, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
Combine Mixtures
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and mix until just combined. Gently fold in the grated carrots and walnuts if using.
Bake the Cakes
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool the Cakes
Remove from the oven and let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
