    Mix Dry Ingredients

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

  3. 3

    Combine Wet Ingredients

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

    Add Carrots and Nuts

    Fold in the grated carrots, chopped walnuts, and raisins until evenly distributed.

    Bake the Cake

    Cool and Serve

    Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely before frosting or serving.
