Directions
{{model.addEditText}} Print- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour three 9-inch pans.
- In a large bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, baking soda , salt and cinnamon. Add the sugar, oil and eggs; mix well for 1 minute. Stir in the carrots, pineapple, walnuts, and coconut. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans.
- Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of each cake layer comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes (one layer may be done sooner than the other). Cool in pans for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- To make the frosting, beat butter and cream cheese until smooth. Mix in confectioners' sugar at low speed until combined; beat until fluffy. Stir in vanilla.
Footnotes
- Cook's Note:
- For an extra touch, sometimes I add a little lemon juice to the frosting, about 1 teaspoon or to taste. I have been told that this tastes like cheesecake on top of the carrot cake--the best of both worlds!

I made this for my mothers 60th birthday. First time making carrot cake, everyone loved it. I did add a little nutmeg. I then used white chocolate cream cheese icing from another recipe.
