Cake Ingredients

Method

Cake Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.

  3. 3

    Mix Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, combine the vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Beat until well blended.

  4. 4

    Combine Mixtures

    Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.

  5. 5

    Add Carrots and Pineapple

    Fold in the grated carrots, crushed pineapple, and chopped walnuts until evenly distributed.

  6. 6

    Bake the Cakes

    Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

  7. 7

    Cool the Cakes

    Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.

  8. 8

    Frosting (Optional)

    Once cooled, frost with cream cheese frosting if desired, and garnish with extra walnuts on top.
