CAKE

CREAM CHEESE FROSTING

  1. Pull any ingredients from the fridge. Everything should be at room temperature. Preheat the oven to 350.

  2. Grease & flour the pans. (2) 9" round, (2) 8x8" pans, or (1) 13x9.

  3. Whisk the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, baking spices, and salt in a large bowl.

  4. Add in vegetable oil & eggs. Beat on low speed or combine with a rubber spatula.

  5. Fold in carrots, walnuts, raisins, & pineapple.

  6. Divide batter amongst pans & bake until a toothpick can be inserted & come out clean. 25 minutes for smaller pans or 35 if being done in 1 large pan.

  7. Make the frosting - again all ingredients need to be room temp. In a medium bowl beat just until blended cream cheese, butter, & vanilla.

  8. Adding the powdered sugar ¼ cup at a time & beat just until smooth. Do not overbeat. If adding any cinnamon or orange zest add at the end.

  9. Cool in the pan on a rack for 10 minutes. Loosen the cake from the edges using a butter knife to remove from the pan. Wait till completely cooled to add frosting.
