  3. In a separate bowl, combine yogurt, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, vegetable oil, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.

  5. Gently fold in the grated peeled carrots and raisins.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan.
  7. Place the cake pan in the pressure cooker, adding a cup of water, and set to 'Cake' or 'Manual' for 30 minutes.
  8. Check for doneness with a toothpick; if needed, cook for an additional 5-10 minutes.
