Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan or two 9-inch round cake pans.

2

Stir together flours, brown sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, and baking soda in a large bowl. Add buttermilk and oil, mix until well combined, and incorporate egg yolks.

4

Fold egg whites into the batter gently, then fold in grated carrots. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
