Arahan

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans or a 9×13-inch pan.

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.

In a separate bowl, combine vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Slowly add wet ingredients to dry, stirring until just combined.

Gently fold in grated carrots, crushed pineapple, shredded coconut, and nuts (if using).

Pour the batter evenly into prepared pans. Bake for 25–30 minutes (round pans) or 35–40 minutes (9×13 pan), until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Cool cakes in pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

For frosting, beat cream cheese and butter until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Stir in vanilla and pineapple juice (if using).

Frost the cooled cake and garnish with extra coconut or nuts, if desired.
