Cake Preparation

1. Preheat the Oven

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

2. Mix Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until well combined.

3. Combine Wet Ingredients

In another bowl, mix the vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.

4. Combine Mixtures

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.

5. Add Carrots and Nuts

Fold in the grated carrots and walnuts (if using) until evenly distributed.

6. Bake the Cakes

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

7. Cool the Cakes

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