I never put nuts in my carrot cake!. I really think you need the baking powder!. At the very least if you do not have the powder use 1 or 2 tsp!. of baking soda and some salt!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
you don't have to use walnuts, you can make it without, or try pecans!. but!.!.!. you kind of need baking powder!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
you can omit the walnuts but not the baking powder!.!. that is a leavening agent!.!. dont use it and your cake wont rise and weigh a tonWww@FoodAQ@Com
Actually, I've been baking carrot cakes to sell down at my Legion post for ten years now - and I never put nuts in 'em!. They always sell like hotcakes!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
