Instructions

  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  3. In another bowl, mix vegetable oil, eggs, crushed pineapple, sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Fold the grated carrots, shredded coconut, and walnuts (if using) into the wet ingredients.
  5. Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined; do not overmix.
