Sam's Carrot Cake
Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups white sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk
  • 3/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups shredded carrots
  • 1 (8 ounce) can crushed pineapple with juice
  • 1 cup flaked coconut
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1 cup raisins
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to the desired temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit, or equivalently, 175 degrees Celsius.
2
Next, take a moment to prepare the baking vessel by lightly coating it with butter or cooking spray and then dusting it evenly with flour, ensuring a smooth release of the cake once it's baked.
3
Set aside a separate container to store the dry ingredients, comprising flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt, allowing you to easily access them later.
4
Meanwhile, combine the sugar, eggs, buttermilk, oil, and vanilla extract in a large mixing vessel; proceed to gradually incorporate the dry ingredients until they form a cohesive mixture.
5
In a separate bowl, combine shredded carrots, pineapple, coconut, walnuts, and raisins; stir these ingredients into the cake batter using a large wooden spoon until they are fully incorporated.
6
Pour the prepared cake batter into the greased and floured pan, ensuring it's evenly distributed.
7
Place the cake in the preheated oven and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake emerges clean, approximately 1 hour.
8
After the cake has finished baking, allow it to cool for at least 20 minutes before serving.
