This is the best carrot cake that I have ever tasted. It has a really nice flavour that you won't need to try any other carrot cake recipes. Ingredients:

2 teaspoons baking powder |
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda |
1 teaspoon salt |
2 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon |
4 large eggs |
1 1/2 cups oil |
2 cups caster sugar |
2 3/4 cups coarsely grated carrots |
1 (8 ounce) can crushed pineapple |
3/4 cup chopped walnuts or 3/4 cup pecans |
1 cup shredded coconut or 1 cup desiccated coconut |
1/2 cup butter |
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese |
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla essence |
1 lb icing sugar |
Directions:
1. Sift together all dry ingredients.
2. In large bowl, stir together sugar, eggs and oil with wooden spoon until well blended, about 5 minute.
3. Add flour mixture a little at a time, mixing well after each addition.
4. Add carrots, nuts, pineapple and coconut and blend thoroughly (squeeze juice from carrots and pineapple).
5. Bake in greased and lined springform pan for about 60 to 90mins 180°C.
