Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease two 9-inch round cake pans.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.

Fold in the grated carrots, raisins, and walnuts. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool completely before frosting.
