Preheat oven to 350F/176C. Prepare 9x13 pan, lining it with parchment paper.
Whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and spices in a medium bowl and set aside.
In a food processor, process sugar and eggs together until well combined and frothy, about 20 seconds. While machine is running, add the oil through the feed tube in a steady stream. Process until mixture is emulsified. Scrape the mixture into a large bowl.
Add flour mixture, grated carrots, pineapple and raisins (if using) until incorporated and no streaks of flour remain.
Pour into prepared pan and bake until a toothpick or skewer inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean, 55-60 min.
Cool the cake to room temperature in the pan on a wire rack, about 2 hours.
Frost with cream chees frosting if desired.
