Ingredients

• 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
• ¾ teaspoon baking soda
• ¾ teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
• ½ cup vegetable oil
• ¾ cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup packed light brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 1 ¾ cups grated carrots
• ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking pan. Line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the oil, sugars, apple cider vinegar, and vanilla extract until well combined. Stir in the applesauce until just incorporated.
4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. Gently fold in the grated carrots and chopped nuts (if using).
5. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before frosting and serving.
7. Tips:
8. For a richer flavor, use melted coconut oil instead of vegetable oil.
9. If you don't have applesauce, you can substitute mashed banana.
10. You can add other chopped nuts or dried fruits to the batter for extra flavor and texture.
11. If you don't have a 9x13 inch pan, you can use two smaller round cake pans. Just adjust the baking time accordingly.
