Hawaiian Carrot Pineapple Cake

A deliciously moist dessert that combines the sweetness of pineapple with comforting flavors of carrot cake.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 12 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups All-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups Granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon Baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup Vegetable oil
  • 4 Large eggs
  • 1 cup Grated carrots
  • 1 cup Crushed pineapple, drained
  • 1/2 cup Chopped walnuts (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch cake pan.
  2. Mix dry ingredients in a large bowl: whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  3. Combine wet ingredients in another bowl: whisk the oil and eggs until well combined.
  4. Add the grated carrots, crushed pineapple, and vanilla extract to the wet ingredients and mix well.
  5. Combine the mixtures by gradually adding the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until just combined. Fold in the walnuts if using.
  6. Bake the batter in the prepared cake pan for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool the cake in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Ensure your eggs are at room temperature for a smoother batter. Do not overmix the batter; stirring until just combined helps keep the cake light.
