Instructions

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

  3. 3

    Combine Wet Ingredients

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

  4. 4

    Combine Mixtures

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

  5. 5

    Add Carrots and Nuts

    Fold in the grated carrots, walnuts or pecans, and raisins (if using) until evenly distributed.

  6. 6

    Pour and Bake

    Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

    Once baked, remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then, turn them out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
