This is one of the easiest cakes you can make because all you have to do is whisk the ingredients together and bake. Frosting is a breeze as well.
Step 1: Whisk first set of ingredients together: grated carrots, eggs, oil, and sugars. Whisk until everything is evenly combined.
Step 2: Add in the dry ingredients and whisk until just fully incorporated and smooth. Fold in chopped nuts into the batter.
Step 3: Prepare the 9-inch round baking pans. Grease cake pans with some cooking spray and sprinkle a couple of tablespoons of flour in each. Shake the pan gently to spread flour around evenly on the bottom and the sides. Turn the pans over and pat the excess flour out of the pan.
Step 4: Divide the batter among the two prepared pan as evenly as possible!
PRO TIP: use a kitchen scale to measure each baking pan with batter in it to make sure that the batter is divided equally among the pans.
Step 5: Bake the cake at 350° for about 30 minutes. Take the cakes out of the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 15 minutes. Gently tap the corners of the cake pan to loosen the cake a bit. Turn the pan over to take the cake layers out of the pans onto a cooling wire rack.
PRO TIP: Do a toothpick test to check if the cake is baked through: insert a dry toothpick into the very center of the cake and pull it out. It the toothpick comes out clean, the cake is done. If the toothpick comes out with some unbaked batter on the end, it needs more bake time.
Let them cool for 45-60 minutes.
