Ingredients

• 1 cup all purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
• ½ cup vegetable oil or canola oil
• ¼ cup orange juice
• ½ cup sugar
• ½ cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 2 large eggs
• 1 ½ cups carrots peeled and grated.
• Optional: 1/4 cup shredded coconut or raisins,
• and ½ cup chopped pecans or walnuts.

Guidelines

1. Mix the dry ingredients (flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and nutmeg) in a medium-sized bowl and set it aside.
2. Beat the sugar, eggs, brown sugar, and teaspoon of vanilla essence in a large mixing basin.
3. After combining, gradually add the dry mixture until thoroughly mixed, followed by the oil and orange juice. To ensure that all of the ingredients are combined, scrape down the sides of the bowl. Beat at a medium speed until the batter is smooth.
4. Add the shredded carrot and, if desired, the chopped walnuts and optional shredded coconut. Stir until all of the ingredients are thoroughly mixed.
5. To prepare an 8-inch round cake pan, line the bottom with parchment paper pan with a circle of parchment paper. Then lightly spray or butter the sides of the pan. Pour the carrot cake batter into lightly greased or lined cake pan.
6. Place cake pan in air fryer basket and air fry at 320ºF for 20 minutes. Cover the cake with foil, and then continue to air fry for an additional 10 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the center of the cake.
