Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 cups grated carrots (about 4–5 medium carrots)
- Optional: 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
- Optional: 1/2 cup raisins
- Optional: powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a bundt pan thoroughly.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- In another bowl, beat eggs, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until well combined.
- Stir in vegetable oil and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Gradually add dry ingredients to wet, mixing just until combined.
- Fold in grated carrots and any optional add-ins (nuts, raisins).
- Pour batter evenly into the prepared bundt pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 45–55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack and cool completely.
- Dust with powdered sugar before serving, if desired.
Notes
- Use freshly grated carrots for best moisture and texture.
- Ensure bundt pan is well-greased and floured to prevent sticking.
- Replace some or all oil with applesauce for a lighter version.
- Add crushed pineapple, shredded coconut, or zucchini for flavor variations.
- Top with cream cheese glaze or frosting for added richness.
