Best Carrot Cake Ever

Step 1
Combine grated carrots and brown sugar in a medium bowl. Let sit for 1 hour, then stir in raisins.

Step 2
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour two 10-inch round cake pans.

Step 3
Beat eggs in a large bowl until light. Gradually beat in white sugar, oil, and vanilla. Stir in pineapple. Combine flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl, then stir into egg mixture until absorbed. Stir in carrot mixture and walnuts. Pour evenly into the prepared pans.

Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven until an inserted toothpick comes out clean, 45 to 50 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes before removing cake layers from the pans; let cool completely.
