Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 eggs
  • 1.5 cups granulated sugar 225g
  • 1 cup milk 200ml
  • 1 cup oil 200ml
  • 2.5 cups all-purpose flour 300g
  • 2 packets baking powder 20g
  • 1 packet vanilla 5g
  • 2 cups grated carrots
  • 1 cup walnuts chopped (slightly less than a full cup)
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the milk and oil, mixing until fully combined.
  4. Sift in the flour, baking powder, vanilla, and cinnamon. Gently fold the ingredients together, being careful not to overmix.
  5. Stir in the grated carrots and chopped walnuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top.
  7. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cake cool completely before slicing. Serve as is, or top with a dusting of powdered sugar or a simple glaze.

Notes

  • For a healthier version, replace half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour.
  • If you prefer a less sweet cake, reduce the sugar slightly or replace part of it with honey or maple syrup.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
  • This cake freezes well—wrap slices individually and store in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months.
  • Serve with a cream cheese frosting or a drizzle of honey for extra indulgence.
