Time 1h

Yield 14 to 16 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup vegetable oil, plus extra for the pan (see Cook's Notes)
3 extra-large eggs
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 cups grated carrots, unpeeled and grated on a box grater
1 Granny Smith apple, unpeeled and grated on a box grater
1 (8-ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained
1/2 cup pecans, roughly chopped
1/2 cup sweetened shredded coconut
1/2 cup raisins
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cups sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350˚ and arrange two racks evenly spaced in the oven. Line two muffin pans with paper muffin cups.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, oil and vanilla. Add the carrots, apple, pineapple, pecans, coconut and raisins and stir together. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking soda and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir just until combined. Scoop the batter with a standard (2 1/4-inch) ice cream scoop (I use rounded scoops of batter) into the prepared muffin cups. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Place the pans on a baking rack to cool and serve the muffins warm or at room temperature.

  • Use a bundt pan or springform pan: This will help the cake to rise evenly.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the cake is cooked through.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help the frosting to set properly.
  • Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature: It will stay fresh for up to 3 days.
