Flour, sugar, eggs, carrots, vanilla essence, cinnamon powder, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and butter. Add walnuts or raisins for extra texture and flavor.
Prepare your workspace and preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your cake pans.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
In another bowl, beat eggs, sugar, and melted butter until smooth. Add vanilla extract for flavor and mix until creamy and well combined.
Slowly fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Be careful not to over-mix to keep the cake light and airy.
Add freshly grated carrots until evenly distributed in the batter. Mix in the nuts according to your preference.
Pour the batter into the prepared pans and bake for 30-35 minutes. Let the cake cool and top with cream cheese frosting for a classic finish!
