How to Make Carrot Cake From Crocodile Cafe

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour three 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a large bowl, sift together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat 4 large eggs until light and fluffy. Gradually add 2 cups granulated sugar, 1 cup vegetable oil, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Beat until well combined and fluffy.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Stir in 3 cups grated carrots, 1 cup crushed pineapple (drained), and 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cake pans.
  7. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before inverting them onto wire racks to cool completely.
  9. Once completely cool, frost with your favorite cream cheese frosting (see frosting recipe below).
  10. **Cream Cheese Frosting:** In a large bowl, beat 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter with 8 ounces cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add 4 cups powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, beating until light and fluffy.
