Prep: 20 min - Cook: 45 min
1. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, yeast, oil, and eggs in that order, mixing until smooth.
2. Stir in the cinnamon for a warm, aromatic flavor.
3. Fold in grated carrots and chopped daisies, ensuring everything is evenly distributed.
4. Pour the batter into a buttered cake pan.
5. Bake on the bottom rack of the oven for 45 minutes. Test doneness by inserting a knife blade—it should come out clean.
For a savory twist, swap sugar for salt and pepper, and mix in bacon bits. It's always a hit!
