Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 1 cup Vegetable oil
• 0.75 cup Unsweetened applesauce
• 4 pieces Large eggs
• 2 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
• 2 cups Grated carrots
• 1 cup Chopped walnuts or pecans
• 0.75 cup Nestle Toll House Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
• 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 3 cups Powdered sugar, sifted
• 2 tablespoons Milk
• 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans, or line them with parchment paper rounds.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In another large bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, and applesauce. Whisk together until smooth.

Step 4

Add the eggs, one at a time, to the sugar mixture, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring just until combined.

Step 6

Gently fold in the grated carrots, chopped walnuts or pecans, and Nestle Toll House Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips.

Step 7

Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Smooth the tops with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cake comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the cakes from the oven and allow them to cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then, transfer the cakes to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

While the cakes cool, prepare the cream cheese frosting. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and unsalted butter together until smooth and fluffy.

Step 11

Add the sifted powdered sugar, one cup at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the milk and vanilla extract, mixing until the frosting reaches your desired consistency.

Step 12

Once the cakes are completely cooled, spread a layer of frosting on top of one cake layer. Place the second cake layer on top and frost the top and sides of the entire cake.

Step 13

Decorate the cake with additional chopped nuts or chocolate chips, if desired. Slice and serve.
