Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a 9×13 pan or glass baking dish, set aside.

In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, and salt with a whisk. Set aside.

In a separate bowl, mix together eggs, buttermilk, applesauce, oil, sugar, and vanilla.

Stir in the flour mixture just until mixed. Fold in the carrots, walnuts, raisins, coconut, pineapple, and mix until combined.

Pour into the prepared pan. Bake for 50-65 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the center of the cake.

Remove from the oven and cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, frost with cream cheese frosting.
