Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a round 8 inch pan or a 8x8 square baking pan and line it with parchment paper. Set aside. 2. Add flour, sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt to a large mixing bowl. Whisk until combined. Make a small well in the center. Add egg, vegetable oil, Carnation Evaporated Milk, and vanilla. Whisk the wet ingredients while slowly incorporating the dry until just combined. The batter will be thick. 3. Measure water in a microwave-safe measuring cup, and microwave for 30 seconds until hot. Pour the hot water into the batter and whisk until smooth. Fold in shredded carrots and toasted walnuts. The batter will be a little thinner than a traditional cake batter. This is OK. 4. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan. For square 8x8 baking pans, bake in the oven for 25-28 minutes or for 30-40 minutes for an 8 inch round baking pan (like the video) until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in a few places comes out clean. 5. Place the cake on a cooling rack and cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Lift the cake out of the pan using the parchment paper and allow the cake to cool completely on the cooling rack. 6. Prepare the cream cheese frosting, or frost with your favorite frosting recipe. 7. To make the cream cheese frosting, add butter and cream cheese to the bowl of a stand mixer (or you may use an electric hand mixer). Beat until the cream and butter are well combined. Add vanilla extract and stir. 8. With the mixer on low, slowly add the powdered sugar a little bit at a time until completely combined. Whip on medium-high speed for 1 minute until nice and fluffy. Spread the frosting over the top of the cake and decorate if desired. Enjoy! - @carnationmilks
