    List of Ingredients




    CAKE
    3 large eggs, beaten
    2 cup sugar
    1 cup plus 2 tablespoons salad oil
    2 cup plus 1 tablespoon sifted cake flour
    1 1/8 tsp cinnamon
    1 tsp nutmeg
    1 1/2 tsp salt
    1 tbsp baking soda
    1 1/2 cup coconut
    2 cup grated carrots
    1 cup plus 2 tablespoons crushed, drained pineapple
    1 cup chopped walnuts
    1 cup raisins

    FROSTING
    3/4 cup soft butter, (1 1/2 sticks)
    12 oz cream cheese, (1 1/2 packages)
    3 cup confectioners sugar, (1 1/2 pounds)
    1 1/2 tsp vanilla
    1 tsp cinnamon

    Recipe



    Preheat oven to 350. Grease and flour 3 (8-inch) layer cake pans.

    With mixer on high speed, cream eggs, sugar and oil until creamy and thick, 3 to 5 minutes.

    Sift together flour (which has been sifted once, remember!), cinnamon, nutmeg, salt and soda. Slowly add 1/3 of the dry mixture to egg mixture; beat well. Repeat with remaining dry ingredients, beating well after each addition. Batter will be stiff.

    One at a time, fold in coconut, carrots, pineapple, walnuts and raisins. Divide batter among prepared pans.

    Bake for 40-45 minutes until tester inserted in middle comes out clean. Let cakes cool in pans 5 minutes before turning out onto racks to cool completely.

    FOR FROSTING:
    Cream butter and cream cheese. Add vanilla and cinnamon. Slowly add confectioners sugar and beat until smooth and spreadable. Frost cooled cake.
