Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 cups Grated carrots
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
• 0.75 cup Milk
• 0.5 cup Plain yogurt
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
• 0.5 cup Raisins (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease and flour an 8x8-inch (or similar-sized) baking pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Whisk together to distribute the dry ingredients evenly.

Step 3

In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, milk, plain yogurt, and vanilla extract until smooth and well-combined.

Step 4

Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Fold in the grated carrots, along with the chopped nuts and raisins if using, until evenly incorporated into the batter.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth out the surface with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Optionally, dust the top with powdered sugar or frost with cream cheese icing before serving. Slice and enjoy!
