  • Make sure your carrots are finely grated: This will help them distribute evenly throughout the cake and give it a moist texture.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the cake tough, so mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake in a greased and floured pan: This will help prevent it from sticking.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help the frosting set properly.
