Yield 1 cake, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 cups flour
2 teaspoons cinnamon
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 (8 ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained
1 1/4 cups vegetable oil
3 eggs
2 cups sugar
2 cups finely shredded carrots
1 cup chopped nuts
3/4 cup shredded coconut
1 cup chopped dates (optional) or 1 cup raisins (optional)
1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 tablespoon milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 cup butter, softened
1 cup toasted coconut
3 cups confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Grease a 13-by-9-inch baking pan and set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, using a wooden spoon (do not use a mixer), combine oil and sugar until blended.
  • Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition, and vanilla. Gradually add dry ingredients, stirring until well blended.
  • Add shredded carrots, chopped nuts, pineapple and coconut and mix just until combined.
  • Bake for 50 minutes or until top of cake springs back when lightly touched.
  • After cake has cooled, top with cream cheese frosting or serve plain.
  • Cream Cheese Frosting:.
  • Cream together the cream cheese and butter.
  • Add confectioners' sugar, milk, vanilla and most of the toasted coconut. Let cake cool completely and spread frosting on top. Decorate top with toasted coconut, if desired. Variation: Substituting 1 teaspoon of lemon zest for the vanilla and 1/2 teaspoon of fresh lemon juice for the milk will produce a nice lemony frosting.
