Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch round cake pan with butter or oil.
Step 2
In a large bowl, whisk together the 1.5 cups flour, 1 cup sugar, 1 tsp baking soda, and 1 tsp cinnamon.
Step 3
Add the 2 grated carrots, 0.5 cup vegetable oil, and 2 eggs. Stir until just combined—do not overmix.
Step 4
Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 30-35 minutes.
Step 5
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, about 20 minutes.
Step 6
Spread the 1 cup cream cheese frosting over the cooled cake. Sprinkle with chopped walnuts if desired.
