A moist and fluffy cake with tropical pineapple and sweet carrots, topped with luxurious cream cheese frosting.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup finely grated carrots
  • 1 cup crushed pineapple, drained
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup crushed pineapple (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease two 8-inch round cake pans, then line the bottoms with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. Whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground nutmeg, and salt in a large bowl.
  3. Combine the wet ingredients by beating together granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract in another bowl until smooth.
  4. Fold in the finely grated carrots and crushed pineapple into the wet mixture.
  5. Mix the dry ingredients gradually into the wet ingredients, stirring just until no streaks of flour remain.
  6. Bake the cakes by dividing the batter evenly between the prepared pans and baking for 25–30 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. Cool the cakes in the pans for 10 minutes, then invert them onto wire racks to cool completely.
  8. Make the cream cheese frosting by beating together softened cream cheese and butter until creamy, then adding powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth.
  9. Assemble the cake by placing one layer on a serving plate, add frosting, and layer a second cake over it. Frost the top and sides, garnishing with reserved crushed pineapple.

Notes

Store leftover cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. For longer storage, the undecorated cake layers can be frozen for up to 3 months.
