Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F).
Grease a 9-inch cake pan or line it with parchment paper.

4. Add fruits
Stir in grated apple and grated carrots into the wet mixture.
Add raisins or nuts if using.
5. Combine everything
Pour wet mixture into dry ingredients.
Mix gently until fully combined. Do not overmix.
6. Bake
Pour batter into the prepared cake pan.
Smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
7. Cool
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
