[Guest guest]

Mari posted this last week. I made it for our

Valentine's potluck and they inhaled this wonderful

cake. I got a little 2X2-inch bite.

I highly recommend this.

Pineapple Carrot Cake

 

Cake:

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoons baking soda

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

1 3/4 cups white sugar

1 cup vegetable oil

3 eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 cups grated carrots

1 cup flaked coconut

1 cup chopped walnuts

1 8 ounce can crushed pineapple, drained

 

Frosting:

1 8 ounce package cream cheese

1/4 cup butter, softened

2 cups confectioners' sugar few drops vanilla extract

or rum

 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Remove butter and cream

cheese from refrigerator and allow to warm up to room

temperature 30 minutes in advance.

Wash, peel, and grate the carrots, it helps to use the

fine grating disc of a food processor.

Sift together flour, baking soda, baking powder and

salt. Stir in cinnamon, you don't want to get the

cinnamon in the sifter!

Beat the eggs, add the sugar. Add the flour mixture to

the egg mixture gradually. Add oil and vanilla. Beat

for 1 minute at medium speed of electric mixer.

Using a wooden spoon, stir in the grated carrots,

coconut, crushed pineapple and finally the walnuts.

Mix well and turn out into a buttered and floured

9x13 inch pan.

Bake at 350 degrees for approximately 45 minutes or

until cake is no longer moist in center and begins to

pull away from edges of pan. The toothpick test won't

work on this cake!.

To prepare frosting, beat cream cheese with butter and

a few drops vanilla extract or rum; when completely

mixed, beat in the confectioners' sugar until the

frosting is a spreadable consistency. Frost cake while

still slightly warm.

 

 

I'd love to turn you on

Woke up, fell out of bed,

Dragged a comb across my head

Found my way downstairs and drank a cup,

And looking up I noticed I was late.

Found my coat and grabbed my hat

Made the bus in seconds flat.
