Ingredients

How to make it

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  • Prepare 9X13" pan with shortening or spray, or (2) 9" round cake pans
  • Sift together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, allspice and nutmeg. Set aside.
  • Mix eggs, sugar, oil and vanilla until well blended. Slowly add flour mixture until combined. Add crushed pineapple, with juice, to mixture. Remove from mixer and add carrots, coconut, nuts and raisins by hand. Mix thoroughly and pour into prepared pans.
  • Bake for 45-55 minutes in 9X13" pan, or 40-50 minutes for round pans. Test with toothpick or cake tester for doneness.
  • Remove cakes from round pans after 10 minutes. Let cake(s) cool completely on racks before frosting. 9x13 cake does NOT need to be removed; frost in pan; serve.

  • 1 8 oz. block of softened cream cheese
  • 1 stick of softened butter
  • 1 - 1 1/2 cups of confectioner's sugar
