Ingredients You’ll Need

Before you start whipping it up, here’s a rundown of what you’re gonna need:

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups granulated sugar
1 cup vegetable oil
4 large eggs
3 cups grated carrots
1 cup crushed pineapple, drained
1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions to Make This Masterpiece

Now that you have everything ready, let’s get to the fun part! Follow these steps to make this scrumptious cake:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.
Add in the vegetable oil, eggs, grated carrots, crushed pineapple, and vanilla extract. Mix until the batter is smooth and well incorporated.
If you’re using walnuts, fold them into the batter for that extra crunch!
Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared cake pans. Bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Once baked, let the cakes cool in the pans for about 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
While the cakes are cooling, whip up your favorite cream cheese frosting and frost the layers once the cakes are completely cool.
Stack the layers, add some frosting on top, and garnish with more walnuts if you like!

There you have it! A beautiful, homemade J. Alexander’s Carrot Cake that’s sure to wow your friends and family. Slice it up, serve it, and watch those smiles appear. Enjoy!
