How to Make Casual Cafe Choco Carrot Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round baking pans.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, combine the vegetable oil, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Beat until well combined.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- In a medium bowl, combine the grated carrots, chopped walnuts, and chocolate chips. Gently fold into the batter.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before inverting them onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Prepare the cream cheese frosting while the cakes are cooling (see frosting recipe below).
- Once the cakes are completely cool, frost the top of one layer with a generous amount of cream cheese frosting.
- Carefully place the second cake layer on top and frost the entire cake.
- Optional: Garnish with extra chocolate chips, chopped walnuts, or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
