Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare two 9-inch round cake pans by greasing and dusting them with flour.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, blend the oil and eggs until smooth, then stir in the grated carrots, crushed pineapple, shredded coconut, and walnuts.
  4. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined.
  5. Divide the batter between the prepared pans and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  6. Cool the cakes in the pans for about 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
  7. To make the frosting, beat the cream cheese and butter until smooth, then mix in the powdered sugar and vanilla.
  8. Frost the top of one cooled cake layer, place the second layer on top, and frost the top and sides of the cake.

Drain the crushed pineapple well to avoid sogginess. Customize with grated apples or skip nuts for a nut-free version.
