Ingredients
- 2 c. all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking pwdr
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tsp grnd cinnamon
- 1 3/4 c. white sugar
- 1 c. vegetable oil
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 c. grated carrots
- 1 c. flaked coconut

Directions
- This recipe is wholesome and easy (it only takes 30 min to prepare and 45 to bake). The carrots and the pineapple work together to keep the cake moist.Preheat oven to 350°F. Remove butter and cream cheese from refrigerator and allow to warm up to room temperature 30 min in advance.
- Wash, peel, and grate the carrots (it helps to use the fine grating disc of a food processor).
- Sift together flour, baking soda, baking pwdr and salt. Stir in cinnamon (you do not want to get the cinnamon in the sifter!)
- Beat the large eggs, add in the sugar. Add in the flour mix to the egg mix gradually. Add in oil and vanilla. Beat for 1 minute at medium speed of electric mixer.
- Using a wooden spoon (or possibly other large spoon) stir in the grated carrots, coconut, crushed pineapple and finally the walnuts. Mix well and turn out into a buttered and lightly floured 9x13 inch pan.
- Bake at 350°F for approximately 45 min or possibly till cake is no longer moist in center and begins to pull away from edges of pan. (The toothpick test will not work on this cake!).
- To prepare frosting, beat cream cheese with butter and a couple drops vanilla extract or possibly rum; when completely mixed, beat in the confectioners' sugar till the frosting is a spreadable consistency. Frost cake while still slightly warm.
