Ingredients
For the Cake:
- 2 Cups flour
- 2 Cups sugar
- 2 Cups matchstick carrots
- 1 Cup crushed pineapple
- 1 ½ Cups oil
- ½ Cup Chopped Pecans
- 4 eggs
- ½ Tablespoon baking powder
- 2 Teaspoons nutmeg

For the Frosting:

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a large bowl, cream together the sugar and oil for the cake batter. Add in the eggs and mix well. Add the carrots and pecans, mix well.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, salt, nutmeg, cinnamon, baking powder, and baking soda. Mix well.
- Add both bowls together and mix well. Fold in the pineapple very last.
- Divide evenly between the two cake pans and bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- While the cakes are cooling, combine the butter and cream cheese in a bowl for the frosting.
- Using a hand mixer, beat until smooth. Add in the rest of the ingredients, but only 2 cups of the powdered sugar. Beat until fully incorporated, then add the rest of the powdered sugar and beat again.
- Once the cakes are cool, place a layer of frosting on the top of one and place the other cake over the top of it.
- Frost the cake entirely and chill to set.
