Instructions
Making your Carrot Cake Loaf Cake is simple when you follow these easy steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil and sugar until well combined. Then add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4. Combine Mixtures: Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, carefully folding until just combined.
5. Add Carrots and Pineapple: Stir in the grated carrots and crushed pineapple until evenly distributed. If using, fold in the chopped nuts and raisins at this stage.
6. Transfer Batter: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
7. Bake: Place the loaf pan in your preheated oven and bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Cool the Cake: Once baked, remove the loaf from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Slice and Serve: Once cooled, slice the loaf with a serrated knife and serve.
