Ingredients

2 cups granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup vegetable oil
4 large eggs
2 cups grated carrots
1 cup crushed pineapple, drained
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
Cream cheese frosting for topping

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat the oil and eggs together. Add the grated carrots, crushed pineapple, and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. If using, fold in the chopped nuts.
Bake: Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool: Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Frost: Once cooled, frost the cakes with cream cheese frosting and stack them on top of each other. Decorate as desired.
