Cake Ingredients

Method

Baking Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

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

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

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

  3. 3

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, combine vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix well until combined.

  4. 4

    Combine Mixtures

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

  5. 5

    Add Carrots and Other Mix-ins

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

  6. 6

    Pour and Bake

    Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  7. 7

    Cool the Cakes

    Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then turn them out onto wire racks to cool completely.
