How to Make Beth's Carrot Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9x13 inch baking pans.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. In a separate bowl, combine the grated carrots, pineapple, and walnuts.
  7. Gently fold the carrot mixture into the batter.
  8. Pour batter evenly into the prepared pans.
  9. Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before inverting them onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. Once cool, frost with your favorite cream cheese frosting (recipe not included).
