I came across this recipe by chance which my girlfriend cut out of a magazine - it's a firm favourite! Warning !! The icing is extremely rich. I normally make muffins instead of the slab cake as suggested.

Ingredients:

2 cups sifted flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda

1 teaspoon cinnamon

2 cups white sugar

1 cup salad oil (i use canola)

4 eggs, beaten, mix well then blend in

2 cups finely grated carrots

1/2 cup pecans or 1/2 cup walnuts

1 cup fine coconut

1 (8 ounce) can crushed pineapple (drained)

1/2 cup butter

8 ounces cream cheese

2 1/2 cups icing sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla essence

Directions:

1. Bake the batter in a 9x13 pan at 350 degrees F. (for 40-60 mins).
2. Blend the icing ingrediants and put on cold carrot cake.
