Mod de preparare
Pas cu pas
- 1
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease and flour a 23x33 cm (9x13 inch) baking pan.
Aproximativ 5 min.
Nota bucătarului: For easy removal, you can line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper after greasing it.
- 2
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, salt, ground ginger, and ground nutmeg.
Aproximativ 3 min.
Nota bucătarului: Whisking the dry ingredients ensures the leaveners and spices are evenly distributed, which helps the cake rise evenly.
- 3
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the light brown sugar, granulated sugar, and neutral oil until well combined.
Aproximativ 2 min.
- 4
Add the eggs to the sugar-oil mixture one at a time, whisking well after each addition until the mixture is smooth.
Aproximativ 3 min.
- 5
Stir the vanilla extract into the wet ingredients.
Aproximativ 1 min.
- 6
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Aproximativ 2 min.
Nota bucătarului: A few streaks of flour are okay; they will disappear when you fold in the other ingredients.
- 7
Gently fold in the grated carrots until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Aproximativ 2 min.
- 8
If using, fold in the optional raisins and chopped walnuts.
Aproximativ 1 min.
Nota bucătarului: Tossing the raisins and walnuts in a spoonful of flour before adding them can help prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the cake.

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and use the spatula to spread it into an even layer.
Aproximativ 1 min.
- 10
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached.
Aproximativ 40 min.
- 11
Let the cake cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
Aproximativ 1 oră
Nota bucătarului: Cooling completely is essential for the cake to set properly and to prevent it from crumbling when you slice it.
