Ingredients:

Serving

1 can (8 oz) unsweetened crushed pineapple
2 cups shredded carrots
4 eggs
1 cup sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 cup canola oil
2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
3/4 cup chopped walnuts
frosting:
2 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup butter, softened
2 tsp vanilla extract

Transfer to a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Bake at 350° for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack.
For frosting, in a large bowl, beat cream cheese and butter until smooth. Beat in vanilla. Gradually beat in confectioners' sugar until smooth. Spread over cake. Yield: 12 servings.
