Hazırlanışı
Adım adım
- 1
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease and flour a 23x33cm (9x13 inch) baking pan.
Yaklaşık 5 dk.
Aşçının notu: Using baking spray with flour can make this step quicker.

In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Yaklaşık 3 dk.
- 3
In a separate medium bowl, lightly beat the eggs, then whisk in the vegetable oil until combined.
Yaklaşık 2 dk.
- 4
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Yaklaşık 2 dk.
Aşçının notu: A few small lumps of flour are okay; overmixing can make the cake tough.

Gently fold in the grated carrots, followed by the chopped walnuts if you are using them.
Yaklaşık 2 dk.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and use the spatula to spread it into an even layer.
Yaklaşık 1 dk.

Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Yaklaşık 40 dk.
- 8
Allow the cake to cool in the pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes.
Yaklaşık 15 dk.
Aşçının notu: This initial cooling period helps the cake set and makes it easier to remove from the pan.

Carefully invert the cake onto the wire rack and let it cool completely to room temperature.
Yaklaşık 45 dk.

While the cake cools, prepare the frosting. In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and unsalted butter with an electric mixer until smooth.
Yaklaşık 3 dk.
Aşçının notu: Ensure the butter and cream cheese are truly at room temperature for a lump-free frosting.

Gradually add the powdered sugar and beat on low speed until incorporated, then increase to medium-high until light and fluffy. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Yaklaşık 4 dk.

Once the cake is fully cooled, spread the frosting evenly over the top.
Yaklaşık 3 dk.
Aşçının notu: Frosting a warm cake will cause the frosting to melt and run.
