Instructions

1. In a medium sized bowl, combine the  dry ingredients of flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and nutmeg, then set aside.
2. In a large mixing bowl, beat together the sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and teaspoon vanilla extract. Once combined, add the oil and orange juice, then slowly add in the dry mixture, until well combined. Scrape the sides of the bowl to make sure all ingredients are incorporated. Mix on medium speed until you have a smooth batter.
3. Stir in the shredded carrot, and if using, add optional shredded coconut and chopped walnuts. Continue to stir until all ingredients are well combined.
4. Prepare an 8 inch round cake pan, by lining the bottom of the pan with a circle of parchment paper. Then lightly spray or butter the sides of the pan. Pour the carrot cake batter into lightly greased or lined cake pan.
5. Place cake pan in air fryer basket and air fry at 320ºF for 20 minutes. Cover the cake with foil, and then continue to air fry for an additional 10 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the center of the cake.
