Ingredients: – 2 cups all-purpose flour – 2 tsp baking powder – 1 tsp baking soda – 1/2 tsp salt – 2 tsp ground cinnamon
– 3/4 cup vegetable oil – 1 cup granulated sugar – 1 cup packed light brown sugar – 4 large egg – 2 tsp vanilla extract – 3 cups grated carrot – 1 cup crushed pineapple, drained
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans. In a bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
In another bowl, beat oil, sugars, eggs, and vanilla until smooth. Gradually add dry ingredients. Fold in carrots, pineapple, and optional add-ins.
Divide batter between pans and bake for 25-30 minutes. Cool cakes in pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
For frosting, beat cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Frost cooled cake and serve.
