Spot the mixer and scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula. increase the mixer to medium speed and beat 2 minutes more, scraping down sides again if needed. the batter should look thick and well blended. Gently fold in the carrots with spatula. Divide batter between prepared pans, smoothing it out with the rubber spatula. Place pans in the oven side by side.

Run a dinner knife around each layer and invert each onto a rack. Allow to cool completely before frosting.
