Instructions

Gather the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9×13-inch pan.

To make the cake: Mix flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Make a well in the center and add sugar, oil, eggs, and vanilla. Mix with a wooden spoon until smooth. Stir in carrots, coconut, walnuts, and pineapple. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
