How to Make Nutty Pineapple Carrot Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x9 inch baking pan, or line with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup vegetable oil and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in 2 cups grated carrots, 1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple (drained), 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans, and ½ cup raisins (optional).
  7. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely. Frost with your favorite cream cheese frosting once cooled.
