1. Preheat oven to 350°F with the rack in the middle position. Coat a 9-inch round baking pan with nonstick cooking spray; set aside.
2. Insert the chopping blade into the work bowl of the food processor. Add the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Process on Low for 10 seconds. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
3. Put the walnuts into the work bowl and pulse 2 to 3 times to coarsely chop. Leaving the nuts in the bowl, remove the chopping blade and replace with the medium shredding disc. Shred the carrots on High. Add the nuts and carrots to the bowl with the dry ingredients.
4. Remove the shredding disc and replace with the chopping blade. Add the sugars to the work bowl. In a large measuring cup combine the oil, eggs and vanilla. While the unit is running on Low, gradually add the wet ingredi- ents through the feed tube. Process until well mixed, about 30 to 45 seconds, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. Add the wet ingredients to the bowl of dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
