Fluffy Moist Carrot Cake Recipe

Ingredients

This homemade carrot cake is moist, fluffy and delicious. Here’s what you will need to make it:

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
4 large eggs
1 1/4 cups vegetable oil
1 cup light brown sugar
1 cup granulated sugar
3 cups grated carrot
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Instructions

To make this delicious carrot cake, preheat your oven to 350°F (176°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch (23 cm) cake pans.

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda and cinnamon. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, oil and both sugars until light and fluffy. Next, stir in the grated carrot and vanilla extract. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until combined. Stir in the walnuts, if using.

Divide the batter evenly between the two cake pans and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cakes comes out clean. Let the cakes cool completely before frosting.
