Many people consider this recipe a Cajun twist on a classic dessert.  This recipe works best when made in a tube pan, but don’t be worried if you don’t have one.  Any old cake pan will do. It’s pretty easy to make and the combination of pineapple, carrot, and nuts is really yummy! 

1 1/2 cups of vegetable oil
2 cups of sugar
2 eggs
2 cups of carrots (grated)
1 cup of crushed pineapple (drained)
1 cup of nuts, your choice, chopped
1 teaspoon of baking soda
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1 teaspoon of cinnamon
1 teaspoon of vanilla

Cream the oil, sugar and eggs together until nice and smooth. Add the pineapple and grated carrots to the mixture, fold in.  Then add the dry ingredients, mixing together thoroughly. Bake the batter for one hour at 350 degrees, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Can drizzle a sugar and cream cheese frosting over the top, but it’s good as is, too.
