Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 cup crushed pineapple, drained
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9-inch round cake pans or line them with parchment paper.
  2. Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together until well blended.
  3. Step 3: Add the shredded carrots and crushed pineapple to the dry ingredients. Mix until everything is evenly incorporated.
  4. Step 4: If using, fold in the chopped walnuts for added texture and flavor.
  5. Step 5: Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Step 6: Once baked, remove the cakes from the oven and allow them to cool in the pans for about 10 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.

Notes

  • For best storage, wrap the cooled cake layers in plastic wrap and keep them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
  • To reheat individual slices of cake, pop them in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds, or until just warmed through; this will help maintain their moist texture.
  • Serve your Hawaiian Carrot Pineapple Cake with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side for a delightful contrast to the cake's tropical flavors.
  • For an extra burst of flavor, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the dry ingredients; it pairs beautifully with the carrots and pineapple.
