Directions

90 min.

1. Step

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour three 9-inch cake pans.

2. Step

In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, salt, baking soda, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

3. Step

Add the vegetable oil, eggs, carrots, pineapple, and nuts to the dry ingredients. Mix well until combined.

4. Step

Divide the batter evenly among the three cake pans. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.

5. Step

Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for about 10 minutes, then remove them from the pans and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

6. Step

While the cakes are cooling, prepare the frosting. In a large bowl, beat together the butter and cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

7. Step

Once the cakes are completely cooled, spread a layer of frosting on top of one cake layer. Place the second layer on top, and spread another layer of frosting. Repeat with the third layer, and frost the sides of the cake.
