How to Make Carrot Cake With Baby Food Carrots

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar 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, alternating with the pureed carrots, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  6. Fold in the chopped walnuts (optional).
  7. Pour batter evenly into the prepared pans.
  8. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before inverting them onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Prepare your favorite cream cheese frosting (recipe not included). Frost the cake layers once completely cool.
