Baking Instructions

1

Prepare the Oven

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

2

Mix Dry Ingredients

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

3

Combine Wet Ingredients

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

4

Combine Mixtures

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Fold in the grated carrots and walnuts if using.

5

Bake the Cake

Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

6

Cool the Cakes

Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then, transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
