Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a tube pan.
Mix the dry ingredients: In a bowl, combine sugar, flour, salt, baking soda, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Separate the eggs. Beat the whites until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the egg yolks with the oil until well combined. Gradually add the dry ingredients and mix.
Add the grated carrots and chopped pecans. Using a clean hand makes it easier to mix thoroughly.
Gently fold in the beaten egg whites, keeping the mixture airy.
Pour the batter into the prepared tube pan.
Bake for about 1½ hours or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
