- 1/2 cup Walnuts Or Pecans optional, chopped

Frosting Ingredients
- 2 cup Chocolate high-quality, finely chopped, white
- 1 cup Heavy Cream
Instructions
Prepare the Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round baking pan.
Combine Dry Ingredients
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg (if using), and salt.
Combine Wet Ingredients
- In a large bowl, beat eggs, granulated sugar, and oil until light and fluffy. Stir in vanilla extract.
Combine Wet and Dry
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Add Carrots and Nuts/Raisins
- Fold in the grated carrots, walnuts/pecans (if using), and raisins (if using).
Bake the Cake
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool the Cake
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Make the Frosting
- In a heatproof bowl, melt white chocolate using a double boiler or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
Heat Cream
- Heat heavy cream in a small saucepan over low heat until it just begins to simmer (do not boil).
Combine Chocolate and Cream
- Pour warm cream over the melted white chocolate and whisk until smooth and glossy. Let the ganache cool slightly (about 30 minutes) to thicken.
Frost the Cake
- Once the ganache has slightly thickened and cooled, beat it with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Frost the cooled cake.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for the Best Carrot Cake
- For an extra moist cake, add 1/4 cup of applesauce or sour cream to the batter.
- Don't overmix the batter, as this can result in a tough cake. Mix until just combined.
- To make the frosting even creamier, add a tablespoon of softened butter to the white chocolate ganache.
- Garnish with toasted pecans, chopped walnuts, or shredded coconut for added texture and flavor.
