Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups grated carrots
  • 1 can (8 ounces) crushed pineapple, drained
  • ½ cup chopped walnuts (optional)
  • 1 cup shredded coconut (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan or two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the eggs, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until well combined. Add the oil and vanilla extract, and mix until smooth.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  5. Fold in the grated carrots, crushed pineapple, and any optional ingredients like walnuts or coconut.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan(s). Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the cake cool completely in the pan(s) on a wire rack before frosting or serving.

Notes

For extra tropical flair, top the cake with a cream cheese frosting made with a hint of coconut extract. To save time, use pre-shredded carrots from the grocery store. This cake can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
