Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a standard bundt pan or use a non-stick baking spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In another bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, eggs, vanilla extract, orange zest, and freshly squeezed orange juice until smooth and fully incorporated.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 5

Fold in the finely shredded carrots and chopped walnuts (if using) with a spatula until evenly distributed in the batter.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan, spreading it evenly with the spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then carefully invert it onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Once completely cooled, dust the top with confectioners' sugar before serving.

Step 10

Slice and enjoy your Orange Carrot Bundt Cake as a delightful dessert or snack!
