Instructions
Preheat your oven to the temperature specified on the carrot cake mix box.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the carrot cake mix, milk, oil, and eggs.
Mix well until all the ingredients are fully incorporated.
Add the grated carrots and 2 tablespoon chopped walnuts to the batter and stir until they are evenly distributed throughout.
Grease the 7x7 square pan with butter or cooking spray to prevent the cake from sticking.
Pour the carrot cake batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly.
Place the cake pan in the preheated oven and bake according to the instructions on the carrot cake mix box. Typically, this will take around 25-30 minutes.
Once the cake is baked, remove it from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
How to Make Frosting
While the cake is cooling, prepare the frosting according to the instructions on the carrot cake mix box.
This usually involves mixing a powdered frosting mix with a specified amount of milk or water. Follow the instructions carefully to achieve the desired consistency.
Once the cake has cooled, spread the prepared frosting evenly over the top of the cake using a spatula or butter knife.
Sprinkle the chopped walnuts over the frosting as a delightful topping. You can also add additional grated carrots or other decorations if desired.
