Classic Carrot Cake

Preheat your oven to 180°C. Grease a cake pan and set aside. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, Dr. Oetker Baking Powder, Dr. Oetker Vanilla Sugar, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and then add the granulated sugar and oil, mixing until well combined. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Fold in the grated carrots and chopped walnuts, ensuring an even distribution.

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it out evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan before removing it to a wire rack.

While the cake is cooling, prepare the cream cheese frosting. In a medium bowl, beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, softened butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Once the cake has cooled, spread the frosting evenly over the top.

If desired, sprinkle additional chopped nuts of your choice on top of the frosting for added texture and flavor. Slice the cake and serve. Enjoy your classic carrot cake!
