In a large bowl, whisk together flour, salt, baking soda, and cinnamon. In a mixing bowl, mix sugar, vegetable oil, and eggs. In another bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. I like using all-purpose flour, but you can substitute some of the all-purpose flour for whole wheat or white whole wheat flour.

- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a baking tin and flour it abit.
- In bowl, whisk flour, baking powder & soda, cinnamon and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk the oil, both sugars, vanilla once combined start mixing in the eggs one by one. Once it's well mixed, incorporate the dry ingredients in 3 parts with a wooden spoon.
- Once the batter is smooth fold in your Carrots. I opted not to use nuts.
- Place the batter into the baking tin and bake for 50mins-1hr or until springy to the touch and a toothpick at the centre comes out clean.
For a gluten-free carrot cake, swap the flour for your favorite gluten-free flour blend. Baking soda helps the cake to rise. Salt, cinnamon, and vanilla extract make the cake taste amazing. Oil keeps the cake nice and moist — any neutral flavored oil will work. While some recipe historians trace the roots of carrot cake back to medieval times, we disagree.
