- Combine the dry mixture with the grated apples and carrots, then stir in the beaten eggs until everything is well mixed.
- Pour the batter into a greased baking pan and spread it evenly.

- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Ensure the eggs are beaten well for a fluffier cake. You can adjust the spices to your taste; nutmeg or ginger can add a nice touch. Not grating the apples and carrots finely enough can lead to a dense texture. Overbaking can dry out the cake; keep an eye on it during the last few minutes.
