Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups grated carrots
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated carrots, sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix well until all the ingredients are fully incorporated.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the carrot mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly.
  • Place the cake pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
