Before you start baking your carrot cake, it's essential to preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) and prepare your cake pans. Grease and flour three 8-inch round cake pans to ensure that the cake doesn't stick.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon of ginger, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Set the mixture aside.
Divide the batter equally between the prepared pans. Place the pans in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
