Grandma's Carrot Cake
My mom and grandma have been making this cake for years and are famous for it. It’s the only carrot cake I will ever make!
Servings: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 ½ tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 ½ cups vegetable oil
- 4 eggs
- 2 cups grated carrots
- 1 cup crushed pineapple (I use canned)
- 1/2-1 cup walnuts, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350℉.
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in a large bowl. Beat in the sugar, oil, and eggs. Once well combined and creamy, stir in the carrots, crushed pineapple, and walnuts.
- Generously grease two 9-inch cake pans with non-stick spray. (You can also use a 9x13 baking dish and add 20 minutes to the baking time)
- Bake for 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Once out of the oven, let cool completely.
- Top with your favorite cream cheese frosting or use my recipe in this cookbook!
