Stir in vanilla extract. 01:58 Stir in carrots and nuts (if using) until ingredients are well-combined. 02:35 Evenly divide carrot cake batter into prepared baking pans and bake on 350F (175C) for 40 minutes (toothpick inserted in center should come out mostly clean with only few moist crumbs). Allow carrot cake to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then run a knife around the edge and invert onto cooling rack to cool completely. Allow cake to cool completely before covering with cream cheese frosting.
