- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar

Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan (or line with parchment).
2️⃣ Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, beat eggs, sugars, oil, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
3️⃣ Combine dry ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
4️⃣ Combine everything: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Stir until just combined — don’t overmix! Fold in grated carrots and walnuts.
