Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare two 9-inch cake pans by greasing and dusting with flour.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and eggs until smooth and creamy.
  3. Fold in the finely grated carrots and well-drained crushed pineapple until evenly combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon, then incorporate into the wet ingredients.
  5. If using, gently fold in the chopped walnuts.
  6. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans, smoothing the tops, and bake for 25-30 minutes.
  7. Once baked, cool the cakes in the pans for about 10 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
  8. Frost with your favorite cream cheese frosting or lemon glaze once fully cooled and serve.
