How to Make Awesome Carrot Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan or two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a large bowl, beat together 2 large eggs and 1 cup honey until light and fluffy.
  3. Add 1/2 cup vegetable oil and 1 cup milk; beat for 1 minute.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1 teaspoon baking soda.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in 1 cup grated carrots, 1 cup chopped walnuts (optional), and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared pan(s).
  8. Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Frost with your favorite cream cheese frosting (recipe not included).
