Time 1h20m

Yield 16 slices, 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
3 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1 1/2 cups white sugar
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 cup unsweetened applesauce
4 eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 2/3 cups finely shredded carrots
3/4 cup flaked coconut
1 1/4 cups walnuts, chopped
1 (10 ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup butter
3 1/2-4 cups powdered sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour three 8" or 9" round cake pans.
  • Mix flour, baking soda and powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice. Make a well in the center. Add sugar, oil, applesauce, egg, and vanilla. Mix until just smooth; do not overmix.
  • Use a food processor or blender to puree pineapple. Stir pineapple, walnuts, and coconut into batter. Pour into pans.
  • Bake 35-40 minutes. Use a toothpick to make sure the centers are cooked through.
  • Cool on baking racks. The centers may sink a little.
  • Once thoroughly cooled, level the cakes. You may want to freeze them for a few minutes to make icing them easier.
  • Mix butter and cream cheese until smooth, and add the powdered sugar. Start with 3 1/2 c and add more if necessary.
  • Place the cake layers cut side down to frost. If you have problems with the cake crumbling, put it back in the freezer until it's harder.
