Very moist cake that doesn’t require icing but pairs well with nut icing.

Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups vegetable oil
- 2 cups white sugar
- 4 eggs
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups grated carrots
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9×13-inch cake pan.
- Beat the oil and sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl. Add eggs, one at a time, allowing each egg to blend into the oil mixture before adding the next.
- Stir flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt together in a bowl; beat into the wet mixture. Fold grated carrots through the batter, mixing just enough to evenly combine. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 50 to 60 minutes. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.

Wow! This cake really doesn’t need icing! Very good and made no changes.
I added some fresh pineapple bits and sultanas. Very moist and delicious cake for our friend who celebrate his birthday dinner with us.
Nice, moist batter. I did about 2 tsp cinnamon and 1.5 tsp nutmeg, subbed in applesauce for about half of the oil, reduced the sugar to about 1.5 cups, added cranberries and chopped pecans, baked it as cupcakes, and frosted with cream cheese frosting. The results were delicious and rose well, considering how moist and full of chunks the batter was.
Good recipe. Needs a bit more flour or less oil to make a great batter. Added orange zest to add some flavor .
Nice and moist… I use self raising flour instead of AP flour, therefore did not use baking powder and baking soda. I have reduce the sugar. I use 1cup of caster sugar and half cup of brown sugar as I do not have ground cinammon.
Moist carrot cake. I cut the sugar in half and used half oil half apple sauce. Would be great with cream cheese icing. If making it again I would add more cinnamon.
Follow this recipe exactly for perfect baking results. So moist and just sweet enough with a thin cream cheese frosting of your choice.
I made this carrot cake for Easter Sunday and it was my first carrot cake I have ever made and my husband loves carrot cake and he loved this cake I added a cream cheese frosting but the cake was very moist and delicious it was a hit at Easter this year !!
