Perfect Carrot Cake

Instructions

1. Grease and flour two cake tins. Preheat oven to 350°F. 

    

2. In a medium bowl combine flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Whisk and set aside. 

3. In a large bowl combine oil, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla. Whisk well. Add in eggs one at a time whisking in between. 

   Add in dry ingredients a little bit at a time and fold into the wet mixture. Once all the dry flour is gone, fold in shredded carrots. 

4. Separate the batter between the two cake tins, as evenly as you can. Bake at 350°F for 35 minutes or until the toothpick comes out clean.
5. Let them cool completely then carefully flip over. Now it's time to frost! For frosting, I highly recommend my cream cheese frosting. It has a perfect consistency and it's not too sweet.
