Prepare and Bake Carrot Cake
Start by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray and line it with parchment paper for easy cleanup. In a large bowl, combine the sugar, oil, applesauce, and eggs, mixing until everything is nicely blended. Add in the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, vanilla, and nutmeg, stirring until the batter is smooth. Fold in the shredded carrots, then pour the batter into your prepared dish. Pop it in the oven and bake for about 40 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let it cool before slicing and serving!
