Hawaiian Carrot Pineapple Cake🌴🥕🍍

Ingredients: For the cake: 2 cups all-purpose flour 2 tsp baking powder 1 1/2 tsp baking soda 1/2 tsp salt 2 tsp ground cinnamon 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg 1/2 tsp ground ginger 1 cup granulated sugar 1 cup brown sugar 1 cup vegetable oil 4 large eggs 2 tsp vanilla extract 3 cups grated carrots 1 cup crushed pineapple, drained 1 cup chopped walnuts (optional) For the frosting: 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened 4 cups of powdered sugar 1 tsp vanilla extract 1/4 cup crushed pineapple, drained For the topping: Pineapple chunks and Shredded carrots

Instructions: 1 Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour three 9-inch round cake pans. 2 In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. Set aside. 3 In a large mixing bowl, beat the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vegetable oil until well combined. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract. 4 Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients mixing until just combined. Fold in the grated carrots, crushed pineapple, and chopped walnuts (if using). 5 Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cake pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove from pans and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. 6 For the frosting, beat the softened cream cheese and butter until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar, beating until fluffy. Mix in the vanilla extract and drained crushed pineapple. 7 Once the cakes are completely cooled, place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a layer of frosting over the top. Repeat with the second and third layers. Frost the top and sides of the cake. 8 Decorate the top of the cake with pineapple chunks and shredded carrots. 9 Refrigerate the cake for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
