Recipe Summary Fourteen Carat Cake
This carrot cake is worth its weight in gold! It always gets compliments!Ingredients | Birthday Cake Rose Gold And Gold Cake2 cups all-purpose flour2 teaspoons baking powder1 ½ teaspoons baking soda1 ½ teaspoons salt2 teaspoons ground cinnamon2 cups white sugar1 ½ cups vegetable oil4 eggs2 cups finely grated carrots1 (8 ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained½ cup chopped walnuts1 cup flaked coconut4 tablespoons butter, room temperature2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, room temperature1 teaspoon vanilla extract1 (16 ounce) package confectioners' sugar, siftedDirectionsPreheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour three 9-inch pans.In a large bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, baking soda , salt and cinnamon. Add the sugar, oil and eggs; mix well for 1 minute. Stir in the carrots, pineapple, walnuts, and coconut. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans.Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of each cake layer comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes (one layer may be done sooner than the other). Cool in pans for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.To make the frosting, beat butter and cream cheese until smooth. Mix in confectioners' sugar at low speed until combined; beat until fluffy. Stir in vanilla.For an extra touch, sometimes I add a little lemon juice to the frosting, about 1 teaspoon or to taste. I have been told that this tastes like cheesecake on top of the carrot cake--the best of both worlds!Info | Birthday Cake Rose Gold And Gold Cakeprep: 30 mins cook: 40 mins additional: 1 hr 30 mins total: 2 hrs 40 mins Servings: 12 Yield: 1 9-inch layer cake
