Number Of Ingredients 16

2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 cups white sugar
1 1/2 cups salad oil
4 eggs, beaten
2 cups finely grated carrots
1/2 cup nuts
1 cup coconut
1 8-oz can of crushed pineapple
1/2 cup Icing: butter
1 8 oz pkg cream cheese
2 1/2 cups icing sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • Sift together flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda, and cinnamon.
  • Sift together and put in a bowl.
  • Add the white sugar, salad oil, and 4 eggs that you have beaten well - mix together.
  • Add in the finely grated carrots, nuts, coconut (unless you are allergic) and 1 8-oz can of crushed pineapple.
  • Grandma did not drain all of the pineapple juice, she left about an 1/8 of the juice in the can, and added it to the mix.
  • Bake in a 9x13 cake pan that is greased, for 40-60 minutes. A toothpick that comes out mostly dry, not sticky, but not too dry means that it is ready.
  • The icing: Blend the butter, cream cheese, icing sugar and vanilla together and put on the cold carrot cake. If you don't finish it all, put back in the fridge. This cake does not do well if it sits on the counter too long. The icing gets funny.
  • You can make 1/2 recipe of icing if you wish for the 9x13 cake
