Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 cup vegetable oil
4 large eggs
2 cups grated carrots about 4 medium carrots
1/2 cup crushed pineapple drained
1/2 cup chopped walnuts optional
1/2 cup shredded coconut optional

Instructions

Make your oven hot: Turn your oven to 350°F (175°C) and put some oil or butter on two round cake pans. You can also put some paper on the bottom of the pans to make it easier to take out the cakes later.
Mix dry things: In a big bowl, put some flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Use a strainer to make them fine and smooth. Stir them well so they are mixed evenly.
Mix wet things: In another bowl, put some oil and eggs and mix them well with a fork or a whisk.
Mix wet and dry things: Slowly pour the wet things into the big bowl with the dry things and stir until they are well mixed. Don’t stir too much; it’s okay if there are some small lumps.
Add more things: Put some grated carrots, crushed pineapple, chopped walnuts (if you want), and shredded coconut (if you want) in the big bowl and stir them gently with the other things.
Make cakes: Split the cake mix into two parts and put each part in a cake pan.
Cook: Put the cake pans in the hot oven and cook for 30-35 minutes, or until you can poke a toothpick in the middle of the cakes and it comes out clean.
Cool and eat: Take the cake pans out of the oven and let the cakes cool down in the pans for about 10 minutes, then take them out of the pans and let them cool down more on a rack. When they are cool, enjoy your delicious carrot cakes!
