    List of Ingredients





    2 cups flour
    1 1/4 teaspoons salt
    1 teaspoon ground cloves
    2 teaspoons baking soda
    1 teaspoon cinnamon
    1/2 teaspoon ginger
    2 cups sugar
    4 eggs
    1 cup melted butter or oil (we used canola oil)
    2 cups finely grated carrots
    1 cup raisins
    2 cups crushed pineapple (you'll need two 20- ounce cans, drained)
    1 cup walnuts

    Recipe




    Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

    Sift together dry ingredients, set aside. Mix eggs, sugar and melted butter, stirring well. Pour into three greased and floured 8-inch cake pans. Bake for 30 minutes. Let cake cool to room temperature. Frost with cream cheese icing.

    Cream Cheese Icing
    8 ounces cream cheese (softened), see note
    6 tablespoons butter
    1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
    5 1/4 cups confectioners sugar, see note*

    Beat cream cheese, butter and vanilla until smooth. Gradually add sugar. Beat until fluffy.

    Note: The recipe called for 9 ounces of cream cheese -- we went with 8 ounces.

    *We found we needed only 4 1/2 cups sugar, but if you like a sweeter and thicker frosting, add more.
