Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

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

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg. Whisk until well combined.

  3. 3

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, mix together the vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth. Stir in the grated carrots.

  4. 4

    Combine Mixtures

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

  5. 5

    Bake

    Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  6. 6

    Cool and Assemble

    Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Frost with cream cheese frosting if desired.
