~ Pineapple Carrot Cake ~
1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
3 large eggs
1/2 cup canola oil
1/2 cup sugar
1--8 oz can juice packed crushed pineapple
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 t baking powder
2 t baking soda
1 t cinnamon
1/2 t nutmeg
1 t vanilla extract
3 cups carrots or baby carrots, grated
1/2 cup raisins (optional)
Preheat oven to 350F.
If using nuts, place on baking sheet and bake 3 to 5 minutes
until toasted; set aside. Spray a 13x9x2 inch baking pan with
cooking spray. In a large bowl, use electric mixer at medium
speed to beat eggs until frothy. Beat in oil and sugar at
medium speed until well blended; scrape sides of bowl. Add
crushed pineapple with juice, flours, baking powder, baking
soda, spices, and vanilla and beat at low speed until well
blended. Use a rubber spatula to stir in carrots and nuts
and raisins, if using. Spread batter into prepared pan and
bake 30 to 35 minutes or until wooden pick inserted in center
comes out clean. Cool completely, about 1 hour, on wire rack.
Run a knife around sides of cake to loosen from pan. Invert
