2. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. Set aside.
3. In a separate larger bowl, mix together the eggs, sugar and vanilla by hand. Stir in the oil; the mixture should resemble pudding.
4. Gradually stir in the dry ingredients, then fold in the carrots, pineapple, coconut, walnuts and raisins.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, and spread evenly.
6. Bake for 55 to 60 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a small knife inserted into the cake comes out clean.
