Instructions

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit).
Grease a small cake pan with unsalted butter or line it with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. Stir well.
In another bowl, whisk the large egg with granulated sugar until the mixture is smooth and slightly pale.
Add melted unsalted butter, whole milk, and vanilla extract to the egg mixture and whisk until combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in grated carrot and chopped walnuts carefully with a spatula.
For the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
Transfer the cake to a wire rack and let it cool completely before serving.

Tips

Do not overmix the batter to keep the cake light and fluffy.
Use fresh grated carrot for best texture and flavor.
Allow the cake to cool completely before slicing to avoid crumbling.
