Ingredients

4 large eggs, room temperature
1 cup canola oil
2 cups sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/4 teaspoon baking powder

Preheat oven to 350°. In a bowl, beat eggs, oil and sugar until smooth. Combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon and salt; add to egg mixture and beat well. Stir in carrots and walnuts. Pour into a greased 15x10x1-in. baking pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 35 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.

Test Kitchen Tips

For a clean cake release, use our recommended method for greasing a cake pan.

Use an offset spatula to get smooth, professional-looking frosting.

Frosted cake may be frozen.
