The Best Carrot Cake Recipe

My best carrot cake recipe is a tropical carrot cake style. It's simply the best!

You could call it coconut carrot cake, walnut carrot cake, carrot pineapple cake but to anyone who has tried it, it is called the best ever carrot cake.

Thank you! The cake turned out great. Wonderful website!

Best Carrot Cake Recipe

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Ingredients

• 3 cups sifted all-purpose flour
• 3 cups granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 Tablesoon baking soda
• 1 Tablespoon Cinnamon
• 1 1/2 cups corn oil
• 4 eggs
• 1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups chopped walnuts
• 1 1/2 cups shredded coconut
• 1 1/3 cups pureed cooked carrots
• 3/4 cups crushed and drained pineapple

Mix together all of the dry ingredients-Flour, baking soda, salt cinnamon and sugar.

Add oil eggs and vanilla, beat well, scraping the sides of the bowl a couple of times.

Fold in the carrots, pineapple, coconut, and walnuts.

Divide the batter evenly between the pans. Smooth the batter level, then spread it slightly from the center to the edges.

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or just until the tops are springy or a cake tester comes out clean.

Cool the cakes in their pans on a rack for 10 minutes. Then invert onto racks.

Pan Prep: I use either a spray oil or Crisco to grease the pans well, followed by a dusting of flour, followed by a layer of parchment paper or waxed paper that has been cut to fit the pan. That's it. No need to re-grease and flour the waxed paper as some cookbooks will ask you to do.
