For enhanced flavor, consider adding 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans to the batter along with the carrots. To prevent the cake from sticking, use parchment paper to line the bottom of the baking pan. The cake can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. For a more intense carrot flavor, use freshly grated carrots rather than pre-shredded ones.
