We have enjoyed this cake for years. Whenever there's a gathering of family and friends, it seems my cake is always requested. Ingredients:
3 eggs |
3/4 cup canola oil |
3/4 cup buttermilk |
2 cups sugar |
2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon |
2 teaspoons baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 can (8 ounces) crushed pineapple, undrained |
2 cups grated carrots |
1 cup raisins |
1 cup chopped nuts |
1 cup flaked coconut |
cream cheese frosting: |
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened |
1/2 cup butter, softened |
3-3/4 cups confectioners' sugar |
2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, beat the eggs, oil, buttermilk, sugar and vanilla until well blended. Combine the flour, cinnamon, baking soda and salt; gradually beat into egg mixture until blended. Stir in the pineapple, carrots, raisins, nuts and coconut.
2. Pour into a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Bake at 350° for 50-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack.
