Cake Ingredients
Method
Cake Directions
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
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Add Carrots and Nuts
Fold in the grated carrots and chopped nuts until evenly distributed.
Bake
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool the Cakes
Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then turn them out onto wire racks to cool completely.
