  • 1 cup crushed pineapple, well drained

  • 1 ½ cups freshly grated carrots

  • 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat Oven:
    Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line two 9-inch round cake pans or one 9×13-inch pan with parchment paper.

  • Mix Dry Ingredients:
    In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.

    Stir in vegetable oil and vanilla extract.

  • Add Fruits & Coconut:
    Fold in crushed pineapple, grated carrots, and shredded coconut until evenly incorporated.

  • Combine:
    Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Stir just until combined—do not overmix.

  • Bake:
    Divide batter evenly between prepared pans.
    Bake for 35–45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  • Cool:
    Cool in pans for 10–15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Drain pineapple thoroughly to prevent excess moisture.Freshly grated carrots provide the best texture and flavor.Toasting the coconut enhances its nutty flavor (optional).Add chopped walnuts or pecans for extra crunch.Pairs beautifully with cream cheese frosting or coconut frosting.
