Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour three 8-inch round cake pans. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, and salt together in a bowl; set aside. (5 minutes)

03

Step

In a large bowl, beat sugar, mayonnaise, eggs, and vanilla extract together with an electric mixer until blended, scraping the bowl occasionally. Stir in flour mixture; fold in carrots, pineapple, cranberries, and pecans. Divide batter between the prepared cake pans. (15 minutes)

04

Step

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into centers comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove from the pans, and cool completely on wire racks, about 1 hour.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a hint of orange zest to the batter.
Ensure your carrots are finely grated for even distribution throughout the cake.
Toasting the pecans brings out their nutty flavor and adds a delightful crunch to the cake.
