Ingredients
Frosting
- 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
- ¼ cup butter, softened
- 2 cups confectioners' sugar
Cake
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 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
- 1 cup chopped walnuts

Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9×13-inch pan.
Step 2
To make the cake: Mix together flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Make a well in the center and add sugar, oil, eggs, and vanilla. Mix with a wooden spoon until smooth. Stir in carrots, coconut, walnuts, and pineapple. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
Step 3
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Allow cake to cool completely before frosting. (The center of cake may sink slightly as it cools.)
Step 4
To make the frosting: Beat cream cheese and butter in a mixing bowl until smooth. Add confectioners' sugar; beat until creamy.
