Preheat oven to 350°F.

Combine the oil and sugar and mix well. Add the eggs and continue beating the mixture until it is smooth. Mix the flour, baking powder and salt into the egg mixture. Add the remaining ingredients and mix together well.

Pour the batter into a lightly oiled 12 cup bundt pan. Bake for 1 hour.
