For CA grinding (or any ship other than DD or CL), I usually go 4-1 2 nodes, with CA, BB, CVL, 2CLT, SS.

CA with best double attack setup, BB with somewhat weak double attack setup (36.5cm guns), CVL with best ASW planes and a Saiun, CLT with 2x 15.5cm yellow + midget sub, SS with good torpedoes (I tend to use and rotate high level SSV due to increased stats compared to normal SS).

This is good even when using lvl 1 CA. Sure she won't get MVP often even at high level (most likely stolen by BB or a CLT at first node, definitely not going to get at second node), but she'll get over 550 exp on S rank per node, that's over 1100 exp per run if both nodes S rank. Line Ahead first node, Line Abreast second node - except node I, that is also Line Ahead.
