2 cakes
ingredients
- 3 cups vegetable oil

- 4 cups sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla
- 4 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons cinnamon

- 3 cups chopped walnuts (optional)
directions
- Mix vegetable oil, eggs and vanilla in a bowl; set aside.
- Place sugar, flour, nutmeg, cinnamon, baking powder, soda and salt in large bowl.
- Mix wet ingredients into dry till well blended.
- Fold in carrots, pinapple and nuts.
- Bake times are approximate (insert knife in center, cake is done when comes out clean).
- Spring Form pan: 60-70 minutes.
- Tube/Bundt pan: 50-60 minutes.
- Loaf pan: 40-50 minutes.

- Again, this recipe makes several of the above. I usually make a two layer cake then maybe a loaf or mini loafs. I imagine you could make some nice muffins or sheet cake as well but I am not sure of the cook times. Top with your favorite cream cheese frosting or eat plain.

I currently reside in a quaint little town on Lake Erie. I spend most of my time caring for my three children (DH,DS,DD). My love of cooking comes from my deeply rooted southern upbringing. I love to entertain and people enjoy my vittles.
