Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 cups grated carrots
  • 1 cup crushed pineapple, drained
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  3. In another bowl, beat the granulated sugar with the vegetable oil. Add the eggs and mix until well combined.
  4. Stir in the grated carrots and crushed pineapple, making sure to drain any excess liquid.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix!
  6. If desired, fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans.
  7. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for about 10 minutes, then turn them out onto wire racks to cool completely.
  9. Once cooled, frost with your favorite cream cheese frosting or a simple vanilla glaze. Decorate with shredded coconut or additional nuts for a festive touch.
