Ingredients
What you will need:
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 cup vegetable oil
3 large eggs
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups grated carrots
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
1/2 cup raisins (optional)
Before you start gathering your ingredients, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure that your oven is at the right temperature when you are ready to bake your cake.
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the cake batter
In a medium-sized bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. This will help to remove any lumps and ensure that your cake has the right texture.
In a separate large bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, eggs, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Make sure to mix until well combined.
Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix as this can result in a tough cake.
Stir in the grated carrots, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the batter. If you are adding walnuts and raisins, now is the time to mix them in as well.
Step 2: Bake the cake
Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan with butter or cooking spray. Pour the cake batter into the pan and smooth out the top with a spatula.
Bake the cake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing it and placing it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 3: Frost the cake
Once the cake has cooled, spread your favorite cream cheese frosting over the top and sides of the cake. You can also opt for a simple dusting of powdered sugar if you prefer.
Enjoy!
Now that your easy carrot cake is complete, it's time to slice it up and enjoy! The combination of the sweet and moist cake with the tangy cream cheese frosting is a match made in dessert heaven. This recipe is perfect for any occasion and will have everyone asking for seconds.
