Carrot Cake Ingredients

Method

Carrot Cake Directions

1

Preheat the Oven

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

2

Mix Dry Ingredients

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

3

Combine Wet Ingredients

In another bowl, mix together the vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until well blended.

4

Combine Mixtures

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold in the grated carrots and chopped walnuts.

5

Bake the Cake

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

6

Cool the Cakes

Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove from pans and let cool completely on a wire rack.
