Instructions

Keep Screen Awake

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray two 8-inch round cake pans with non-stick cooking spray.
Beat the sugar, oil, vanilla and eggs in mixer until it is a light yellow.
In a separate bowl sift together flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, and salt.
With the mixer on low speed, slowly and gently add in the dry ingredients. Mix until JUST combined.
Remove bowl from mixer and fold raisins, nuts, carrots, and pineapple.
Divide the batter equally between the pans. Bake for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Allow the cakes to cool completely on a wire rack.
