A nice combination of carrot and cake!
Materials
- 3 cups all purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon baking soda
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 4 Large eggs slightly beaten
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cups coconut
- 2 cups carrots finely grated
- 1 cup pineapple drained crushed
- 8 ounce Cream cheese
- 6 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons Lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter two 9 inch cake pans. Cut out rounds of wax paper and place at bottoms of cake pans. Butter the top of the wax paper rounds.
- Sift dry ingredients into a bowl. Add oil, eggs, and vanilla. Beat well. Fold in chopped walnuts, coconut, carrots and pineapple.
- Pour batter into pans. Set on the middle rack of oven and bake for 45-50 minutes (shift positions of cakes front-to-back if necessary about halfway through), until edges have pulled away from sides and a toothpick or sharp knife tip inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Cool on a cake rack.
- To prepare frosting, cream together the cream cheese and butter in a mixing bowl. Slowly sift in the confectioners sugar and beat until mixture is free of lumps. Stir in vanilla and lemon juice.
