1
For the cake:
2
Preheat oven to 350u00b0F. Grease two 9-inch cake pans with cooking spray. Line the bottom of the pans with parchment rounds and spray parchment with oil then dust with flour, tapping out any excess flour.
3
Add flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg to a large bowl.
4
In another large bowl, combine eggs, oil, apple sauce and both sugars. Add wet ingredients into the dry and stir just until combined. Try not to over-mix. Fold in carrots and nuts by hand.
5
Pour the batter into the prepared pans and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean and without any crumbs. Allow the cake to cool for 10 minutes in the pan and then run a butter knife around the edges of the cakes and flip the cake out onto a wire rack. Peel off parchment paper and flip the cakes again so it is the right side up. Allow to cool completely.
6
Frost cake and serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge.
7
For the frosting:
8
Add butter and cream cheese to a stand mixer with the paddle attachment. Cream until fluffy, 2-3 minutes.
9
Stir in powdered sugar and vanilla and mix until combined and clump-free. Set aside until ready to frost the cake.
