Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 cups Grated carrots
• 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts (optional)
• 0.5 cup Raisins (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then stir in the vegetable oil and vanilla extract until combined.

Step 3

Gradually fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 4

Gently stir in the grated carrots, and if using, the chopped walnuts and raisins.

Step 5

Grease the inner pot of the rice cooker with a small amount of oil or butter to prevent sticking.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the greased rice cooker pot and spread it evenly.

Step 7

Close the rice cooker lid and start the 'Cook' cycle. If your rice cooker automatically switches to the 'Warm' setting before the cake is cooked, wait 5 minutes and restart the 'Cook' cycle. Continue this process until the cake is fully cooked, which typically takes 45-50 minutes.

Step 8

Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, the cake is done.

Step 9

Let the cake cool in the rice cooker pot for 10 minutes before carefully removing it. Place the cake on a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

Step 10

Optional: Dust with powdered sugar or top with cream cheese frosting before serving.
