Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan or two 9-inch round cake pans.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir until evenly mixed.

Step 3

Add the vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract into the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.

Step 4

Fold in the grated carrots, crushed pineapple, shredded coconut, and chopped walnuts (or pecans). Mix gently until evenly distributed.

Step 5

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan(s), spreading it evenly.

Step 6

Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 7

Remove the cake(s) from the oven and let them cool completely in the pan(s).

Step 8

To make the frosting, beat the softened cream cheese and butter together in a medium bowl until smooth and creamy.

Step 9

Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, beating well after each addition.

Step 10

Mix in the vanilla extract for the frosting.

Step 11

Once the cake has cooled, spread the frosting evenly over the top. If using two round cake layers, sandwich them with frosting and frost the sides and top.

Slice and serve. Enjoy your homemade version of Starbucks Carrot Cake!
