In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk together the oil, eggs, brown sugar, sugar, applesauce, and vanilla until combined. Add the grated carrots into the wet ingredients until well combined.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and mix with a whisk or rubber spatula until combined, do not over mix the batter.
- Pour the batter evenly into both cake pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the tops of the cakes are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from oven, transfer to a wire rack to cool for 20-25 minutes. Once cooled, remove from the pans and return the cakes to the wire rack to finish cooling.
