Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brush cake pan with cake release (see my recipe). Sift flour, soda, cinnamon, and salt together in a bowl. In mixing bowl, beat eggs until slightly fluffy. Add oil, vanilla, & buttermilk. Mix well. Fold flour mixture into egg mixture. Fold in sugar, carrots, pineapple, coconut, & pecans. Pour batter into prepared pan.
