INCREDIBLY MOIST AND EASY CARROT CAKE

• Position a rack in the middle of the oven. Grease two 9-inch round cake pans, line the bottom with parchment paper and then grease the top. Or grease and flour the bottom and sides of both pans.

• In a separate bowl, whisk the oil, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla.
