- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 ½ teaspoons cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 3 large eggs
- ¾ cup buttermilk (or sour milk, see note)
- ½ cup applesauce
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 ½ cups carrot (shredded)
- 1 cup chopped walnuts
- 1 cup raisins
- 1 cup coconut flakes (optional)
- 8 ounces crushed pineapple (well drained, 1 can)
- cream cheese frosting (optional)
Steps
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a 9×13 pan or glass baking dish, set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, and salt with a whisk. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, mix together eggs, buttermilk, applesauce, oil, sugar, and vanilla.
Stir in the flour mixture just until mixed. Fold in the carrots, walnuts, raisins, coconut, pineapple, and mix until combined.
Pour into the prepared pan. Bake for 50-65 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the center of the cake.
Remove from the oven and cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, frost with cream cheese frosting.
