Add the grated carrots and mix this in.Then fold in the remaining dry ingredients. Chop your nuts finely, if you are using them.I like to toss my add-ins (for example raisins and walnuts or other fruit and nuts) in about 1 T of flour to coat. This helps to prevent the add-ins from sinking to the bottom of the cake during baking. Fold your add-ins into your batter.
