    Ingredients

    2-1/2 cups (300g) all-purpose flour
    2 teaspoons baking powder
    1 teaspoon baking soda
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
    1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
    1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
    1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg


    1 cup canola vegetable oil
    1-1/4 cup (260g) brown sugar
    1/3 cup (75g) granulated sugar
    4 large eggs, at room temperature
    1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
    3 large carrots, grated (about 8 oz)
    8 oz crushed pineapple, drained
    1 cup chopped walnuts
    1 cup raisins

    Procedure
    Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 9×13 inch glass pan.
    Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and other spices together in a large bowl. Set aside.
    Whisk the oil, brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract together in a medium bowl.
    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until combined.
    Fold in the grated carrots, pineapple, walnuts and raisins.
    Spread batter into the prepared pan.
    Bake for 45-55 minutes. Baking times vary, so keep an eye on yours. The cake is done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. If you find the top or edges of the cake are browning too quickly in the oven, loosely cover it with aluminum foil.

    Remove the cake from the oven and set on a wire rack. Allow to cool completely.
