    very tasty.

    Love it.

    Cake:


    3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour2 cups sugar1 teaspoon salt1 Tbsp baking soda1 Tbsp cinnamon1 1/2 cups olive oil or grapeseed oil4 large eggs, lightly beaten1 Tbsp vanilla extract1 1/2 cups shelled walnuts, chopped (more whole or chopped for topping)1 1/2 cups sweetened, shredded coconut2 cups of finely grated carrots1 cup of drained crushed pineapple


    Frosting:


    8 oz cream cheese, at room temperature6 Tbsp unsalted butter, room temp2 1/2 cups of confectioners' sugar1 teaspoon vanilla extract2 Tbsp lemon juice


    Method


    1 Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter two 9 inch cake pans. Cut out rounds of wax paper and place at bottoms of cake pans. Butter the top of the wax paper rounds.


    2 Sift dry ingredients into a bowl. Add oil, eggs, and vanilla. Beat well. Fold in chopped walnuts, coconut, carrots and pineapple.


    3 Pour batter into pans. Set on the middle rack of oven and bake for 45-50 minutes (shift positions of cakes front-to-back if necessary about halfway through), until edges have pulled away from sides and a toothpick or sharp knife tip inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Cool on a cake rack.


    4 To prepare frosting, cream together the cream cheese and butter in a mixing bowl. Slowly sift in the confectioners sugar and beat until mixture is free of lumps. Stir in vanilla and lemon juice.


    5 Once cakes have cooled, frost. Sprinkle top with chopped walnuts or arrange walnut halves in a crown around the top.


    Serves 12-16.

    This is a great recipe. Only advice to add is don't use in a pan that has an edge hight greater than 2", it will not cook properly. You can use this recipe in a 9" x 13" if you'd like it works very well. I owned a bakery and I'm just passing on some well used advice because I've made about every mistake you can imagine. And mistakes are costly, especially when baking from scratch. Happy baking!!!
