- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 ¾ cups white sugar
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups shredded carrots
- 1 cup flaked coconut

Frosting:
- 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
- ¼ cup butter, softened
- 2 cups confectioners’ sugar
Directions
-
Pre-heat the oven to 175 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit). Clean and flour a pan measuring 9 by 13 inches.
-
In order to make the cake, take a big bowl and combine the following ingredients: flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. In the middle of the mixture, create a well, and then add the sugar, oil, eggs, and vanilla. For a smooth consistency, mix with a wooden spoon. Toss in the pineapple, coconut, and carrots, and stir in the walnuts. Pour batter into the pan that has been prepared.
-
Bake for approximately forty-five minutes in an oven that has been preheated until a toothpick that has been inserted into the center comes out clean. Before frosting the cake, make sure it has totally cooled down. It is possible that the cake’s center will sink slightly as it cools.
-
In order to make the frosting, combine the butter and cream cheese in a mixing dish and beat to a creamy consistency. Whisk in the confectioners’ sugar until it becomes creamy.
