Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.

Step 2

In a large bowl, beat the eggs with an electric mixer until frothy. Add the sugar, vegetable oil, applesauce, and vanilla extract. Beat until well combined.

Step 3

Gradually add the flour mixture to the egg mixture and stir until just combined. Fold in the grated carrots and chopped walnuts.

Step 4

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 5

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 6

Dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar (optional) before serving. Enjoy the simple carrot walnut cake with your favorite cup of tea or coffee!
