Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger until well combined.
-
In a separate large bowl, using a handheld or stand mixer, beat together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vegetable oil until smooth and well combined.
-
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
-
Fold in the grated carrots, crushed pineapple, and chopped nuts (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
-
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
-
Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Meanwhile, prepare the cream cheese frosting. In a large bowl, beat together the cream cheese and butter until smooth and creamy.
-
Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until smooth.
-
Once the cakes are completely cooled, frost the top of one cake layer with a generous amount of cream cheese frosting. Place the second cake layer on top and frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining frosting.
