Instructions:

2. In a large bowl, beat the eggs and whisk in the sugar, oil, flour, baking powder, and baking soda until combined.

3. Stir in the grated carrots.

4. Pour the batter evenly into the cake pan and bake for 35-40 minutes. At 35 minutes, begin testing the center with a toothpick. If it comes out clean, the cake is done. If not, continue to bake until cooked through.
