Tips:

Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
Be sure to cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a light and moist cake.
Grate the carrots finely so that they distribute evenly throughout the cake.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients gradually, mixing until just combined. Overmixing can result in a tough cake.
Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the cake bakes evenly.
Let the cake cool completely before frosting. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
