Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 4 large eggs
  • 3 cups grated carrots
  • 1 cup crushed pineapple, drained
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, mix the oil and eggs until well combined.
  4. Add the grated carrots, crushed pineapple, and nuts to the wet ingredients.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
  6. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
  9. For the frosting, beat together cream cheese and butter until smooth, then gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract.
  10. Once the cakes are completely cool, frost the top of one layer, place the second layer on top, and frost the top and sides of the cake.

Notes

  • For added flavor, consider adding raisins or coconut to the batter.
  • Store the cake in the refrigerator if not consumed within a few days.
  • Let the cake sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before serving for the best texture.
