Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350ðF (175ðC). Grease and flour a 13x9 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the oil, sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Whisk until smooth and well blended.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, sift together the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, whisking until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Stir in the flaked coconut, shredded carrots, and well-drained crushed pineapple until evenly distributed.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
  8. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 30 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. For the frosting: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, milk, vanilla, and salt until smooth.
  10. Gradually add the sifted powdered sugar, one cup at a time, beating until the frosting is thick and spreadable.
  11. Once the cake is completely cool, spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the top.
  12. Slice and serve immediately, or refrigerate until ready to serve.
