Method

Cake Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Oven and Pans

    Preheat the 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

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, beat together the oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.

  4. 4

    Combine Mixtures

    Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry mixture, stirring until just combined. Fold in the grated carrots, chopped pecans, and toasted coconut.

  5. 5

    Bake the Cakes

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

  6. 6

    Cool the Cakes

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