Instructions
For the Cake
- Mix together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Set aside. In a large bowl, mix the vegetable oil, sugars, vanilla and eggs until smooth and fluffy. Add pineapple, walnuts, coconut, carrots, and raisins and blend well. Gradually add flour mixture half at a time until blended through.
- Pour batter into a greased and floured 9x13 inch pan and bake at 350 degrees for about 40-50 minutes. Test with a toothpick for doneness. When cool, frost with cream cheese frosting.
For the Cream Cheese Frosting
- Blend cream cheese and butter until light and fluffy. Add vanilla and a little of the powdered sugar at a time until all has been blended well. Turn mixer on high and beat until frosting is light and fluffy. Spread frosting over the cooled cake and sprinkle with pecans.
Notes
- Do not drain the pineapple juice from the crushed pineapple. The juice keeps the cake nice and moist.
- When preparing the raisins, make sure you soak in water until plump. You DO want to drain the water out of the raisins before adding to the mixture.
- After spreading the cream cheese frosting on top, add some crushed pecans for an added crunch.
