Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.

  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.

  4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the Coca Cola. Mix until just combined.

  6. Gently fold in the grated carrots and chopped nuts, if using, until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

  7. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

  8. Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  9. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
