This is a delicious cake-it's so moist! It's great for taking to picnics in summertime, since it travels well. It also keeps for several days in the refrigerator.
Ingredients:
cake:
2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 eggs
2 cups sugar
3/4 cup vegetable oil
3/4 cup buttermilk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 can (8 ounces) crushed pineapple, well-drained
2 cups very finely grated carrots
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 cup flaked coconut
buttermilk glaze:
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup butter
1 tablespoon light corn syrup
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla
Directions:
1. Sift together flour, soda, cinnamon and salt; set aside. Beat eggs in bowl until lemon-colored; beat in the sugar, oil, buttermilk and vanilla. Stir in flour mixture; stir in the pineapple, carrots, nuts and coconut. Pour into lightly greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan.
2. Bake at 350° for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
