Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut
- 1 cup grated carrots
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 3/4 cup vegetable oil
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Preparation
1. Preheat the oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
2. Mix dry ingredients
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir in the shredded coconut and grated carrots until well mixed.
3. Beat eggs and sugars
In a separate bowl, beat the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and eggs until light and fluffy. Gradually add the vegetable oil and vanilla extract, mixing well.
4. Combine wet and dry ingredients
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Fold in the chopped walnuts, if using.
5. Bake the cake
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. Cool and serve
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve the carrot and coconut cake on its own or with a dollop of whipped cream or icing.
