Cream Cheese Frosting
Preparation
2. Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, salt, and ground nutmeg until well combined.
3. Mix Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, combine the vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth. Stir in the grated carrots and crushed pineapple until evenly mixed.
4. Combine Mixtures
Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry mixture, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
5. Bake the Cakes
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
6. Cool the Cakes
Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then, transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
Frosting
7. Make the Frosting
In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and unsalted butter together until smooth and creamy. Gradually add in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, beating until well combined and fluffy.
8. Frost the Cakes
Once the cakes are completely cooled, place one layer on a serving plate. Spread a generous amount of cream cheese frosting on top, then place the second layer on top of that. Frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining frosting.
9. Serve
Slice the cake and serve. Enjoy your delicious carrot cake!
