found this cake suited to 3 8" layers.
Preheat oven to 350. Grease and flour three 8" layer pans. Combine
eggs, sugar and oil. Beat on high speed until creamy and thick, 3-5
minutes. Sift together flour, cinnamon, salt and baking soda. Slowly
add 1/3 of the dry ingredients to egg mixture; beat well. Repeat with
remaining dry ingredients, beating well after each addition. Batter
will be extrememly stiff; it may be necessary to blend with a spatula
or spoon. One by one, fold in carrots, coconut, pineapple, walnuts
and raisins.

minutes, arranging cake pans in oven once. The cake is done when the
