Combine Canola oil, 2 cups of sugar and mix well. Add 4 eggs one at a time and beat well after each addition until light and fluffy. Gradually add dry ingredients mixing well until smooth. Then add your carrots and fruit and mix well with spoon. Bake at 350F for 1-1/2 hrs. This is better done in a tube pan. This recipe was given to my mother over 40 years ago by her Aunt Ivy Jones from Tizzards Harbour, NL and Mom makes it every year for Christmas.
