Directions
Gently heat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray and line it with parchment paper to make cleanup easier. In a large bowl, combine the sugar, oil, applesauce, and eggs, mixing until everything is smooth and well blended. Next, add the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, vanilla extract, and nutmeg, stirring until the batter is nice and even. Fold in the shredded carrots, then pour the batter into your prepared pan. Pop it in the oven and bake for about 40 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let it cool before serving and enjoy!
Serving Variations
Serve slices with a dollop of cream cheese frosting or a sprinkle of chopped nuts. It pairs wonderfully with a cup of tea or coffee, making it a great choice for afternoon gatherings or dessert after dinner.
Storage Suggestions
Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. For longer storage, keep it covered in the refrigerator for up to a week or freeze individual slices wrapped tightly in plastic wrap.
