Ingredients

  • 2 eggs

  • 3/4 cup brown sugar

  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil

  • 1 tsp vanilla

  • 1/4 tsp salt

  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

  • 2 tsp baking powder

  • 1 tsp baking soda

  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon

  • 1/2 cup canned pineapple chunks, well-drained

  • 3/4 cup grated carrot

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350F (180C). Coat an 8-inch (2-L) square cake pan with cooking spray or lightly grease.

  • Using a fork, whisk eggs in a large mixing bowl. Stir in sugar. Add oil in a steady stream, whisking until mixture is thick and smooth. Stir in vanilla and salt.

  • Add all the flour, but do not stir. Sprinkle with baking powder, soda and cinnamon. Stir just until blended and dry ingredients are evenly mixed. Measure out 1/2 cup pineapple chunks, then chop. Stir into batter with carrot.

  • Pour into pan and bake in centre of preheated oven until a cake tester inserted into centre comes out clean, about 40 to 45 minutes. Place pan on a rack to cool. Covered and refrigerated, cake will keep well for at least 2 days and can be frozen.
