Combine the liquid ingredients.
In a big bowl, mix together 3/4 cup of oil, 2 cups of sugar, and 4 big eggs. Use a whisk or an electric mixer to mix these ingredients until they are smooth and well mixed. This blend should be airy and a bit thick, showing that the eggs and sugar have been mixed well.
3. Get the dry ingredients ready.
In another bowl, mix 3 cups of flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt. Sifting makes sure that the dry ingredients are light and smooth, which helps the cake to bake evenly.
Mix the wet and dry ingredients together.
