- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in the grated carrots and chopped nuts (if using).
- Pour the batter into a greased 9×13 inch baking pan, or into muffin tins lined with paper liners.
- Bake the cake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. If making cupcakes, bake for 20-25 minutes.
- Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan before frosting with your favorite cream cheese frosting or just dusting some powdered sugar on top.
