Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare two 9-inch round cake pans by greasing and flouring them.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt).
  3. In another mixing bowl, mix together the wet ingredients (granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vegetable oil) until combined.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
  5. Fold in the grated carrots, crushed pineapple, and chopped walnuts gently.
  6. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops.
  7. Bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  9. Beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until creamy and smooth.
  10. Assemble the cake by frosting between the layers and on the top and sides.
  11. Slice and serve, sharing with family and friends!
