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

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

    Mix Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, combine the vegetable oil, eggs, grated carrots, crushed pineapple, and spiced rum. Mix well.

  4. 4

    Add Pecans

    Fold in the toasted pecans into the batter.

    Bake

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

  7. 7

    Cool and Serve

    Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before frosting.
