Most Delicious Carrot Cake – A Moist and Flavorful Classic

Grease an 8-inch round or square baking pan with butter, or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2: Mix the Wet Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg, sugar, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Stir in the grated carrots and milk, making sure everything is evenly combined.
Step 3: Add the Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until the batter is smooth.
Step 4: Bake the Cake
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan.
Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove it from the pan and cool completely on a wire rack.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
Serve the carrot cake plain, or top it with your favorite frosting (cream cheese frosting is a classic choice!).
Slice and enjoy the moist, flavorful layers of this delicious carrot cake!
