Ingredients:
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
– 1 cup crushed pineapple (drained)
– 1 1/2 cups grated carrots
– 1/2 cup vegetable oil
– 4 large eggs
– 1 teaspoon baking soda
– 1 teaspoon baking powder
– 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
– Cream cheese frosting (for topping)
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9-inch round cake pans.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 cups of granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Whisk together until well blended.
3. In another bowl, beat together 4 large eggs, 1/2 cup of vegetable oil, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and the drained 1 cup of crushed pineapple. Stir in the grated carrots until fully combined.
4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix! If using, fold in 1 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans for an extra crunch.
5. Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared cake pans.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. Once baked, let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Once cooled, generously frost the top of one cake layer with cream cheese frosting before placing the second layer on top. Frost the top and sides of the cake for a beautiful finish.
9. Slice, serve, and enjoy your delicious tropical treat!
