How To Make carrot cake

  • Step 1
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a 9 x 13 baking dish. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg. Set aside.
  • Step 2
    In a large bowl, beat the sugars and eggs together until thick. Stir in the oil and vanilla, then gradually mix in the flour mixture. Fold in the carrots. Spread evenly into the prepared pan.
  • Step 3
    Bake for 40 - 45 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. When completely cool, frost with your favorite cream cheese icing.
