My fiance LOVES carrot cake, and yesterday was his birthday so I decided to look for a carrot cake recipe. He was very specific that he wanted pineapple, coconut and lots of nuts in his carrot cake. I made this cake with a few modifications and he LOVES it!

To begin with this particular recipe, we have to first prepare a few ingredients. You can cook carrot cake using 9 ingredients and 3 steps. Here is how you can achieve it.

The ingredients needed to make Carrot Cake:
  1. Make ready 1 cups granulated sugar
  2. Prepare 1 cup vegetable oil
  3. Get 3 eggs
  4. Make ready 2 cups all-purpose flour
  5. Prepare 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  6. Take 1 teaspoon baking soda
  7. Get 1 teaspoon vanilla
  8. Take 1/2 teaspoon salt
  9. Get 3 cups shredded carrots (5 medium)

In a mixing bowl, mix sugar, vegetable oil, and eggs. In another bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, salt, baking soda, and cinnamon. I like using all-purpose flour, but you can substitute some of the all-purpose flour for whole wheat or white whole wheat flour.

Steps to make Carrot Cake:
  1. Heat oven to 350°F. Grease pan with butter. In large bowl, beat granulated sugar, oil and eggs with electric mixer on low speed about 30 seconds or until blended or use a hand whisk.
  2. Add flour, cinnamon, baking soda, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and the salt; beat on low speed 1 minute. Stir in carrots. Pour into pan.
  3. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool for about 10 minutes; remove from pans to cooling rack.

For a gluten-free carrot cake, swap the flour for your favorite gluten-free flour blend. Baking soda helps the cake to rise. Salt, cinnamon, and vanilla extract make the cake taste amazing. Oil keeps the cake nice and moist — any neutral flavored oil will work. While some recipe historians trace the roots of carrot cake back to medieval times, we disagree.
