In a different mixing bowl, mix together sugar, eggs, vanilla, oil and melted butter. Stir until combined.

Gently fold in carrot shreds, you may also add in Smoked Nuts at this point to the batter if you would like.
Pour batter into a greased 8 X 8 glass baking dish.
Bake from 20 - 30 minutes, testing to see if it's done by inserting a toothpick in the center and checking to see if it comes out clean.
Once cake has fully baked. Let cool.
Top with your frosting of choice. (Cream cheese frosting goes great with carrot cake:)
