Carrot Cake.. Best ever!


I L♥VE carrot cake, its my all time favorite! When I came across this recipe I kept it and never again will i test out another recipe! This is moist and sooo freaking delicious I could eat the whole pan! :♥)

cups all-purpose Flour
2 tsp Baking Soda
tsp Baking Powder
tsp Salt
tsp Ground Cinnamon
1 3/4 cups Sugar
cup Vegetable Oil
3 large Eggs
tsp Vanilla Extract
cups shredded Carrots
cup flaked Coconut
cup chopped Walnuts
1 (8 ounce) can Crushed Pineapple, drained

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch pan.

~Mix flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and cinnamon; make a well in the center and add sugar, oil, eggs and vanilla. Mix with wooden spoon until smooth.

~Stir in carrots, coconut, walnuts and pineapple. Pour into 9x13 inch pan and bake for about 45 minutes. Don't panic, the centre will sink a little.

~Allow to cool; when cool, ice the cake. You can certainly use your favorite cream cheese frosting to ice this cake, but the one I've included is highly recommended (I usually leave the cake in the 13x9 pan and just ice the top).

To make the frosting:
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup butter, softened
cups icing sugar

~Cream the butter and cream cheese until smooth; add the icing sugar and beat until creamy.
