How to Make Coffee Carrot Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the vegetable oil, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and coffee extract. Beat until well combined.
  4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Grate the carrots and add them to the batter along with the chopped walnuts or pecans.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Once cooled, frost with the optional coffee cream cheese frosting (see separate recipe).
