Got this recipe long time ago from a friend. Tried baking it for the first time in 2005. It was a hit. Many, if not all, like this cake, including family and friends. I have lost the recipe once and manage to find something similar from the net, about 9 years ago. I have copied it down on my recipe book and totally forgotten to jot down the source. But who cares right, he he he...as long as the recipe is here.

1 ½ cups vegetable oil
2 cups white sugar
4 eggs
2 cups all purpose

3 cups grated carrot
1 can crushed pineapple (with juice) – 8oz
¾ cup chopped pecan/walnut

this)
