Ingredients:

Serving

1 (20 oz) can crushed pineapple, drained
1 cup mayonnaise
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup granulated sugar
4 eggs
1 lb carrots, shredded
1 cup golden raisin
1 cup coarsely chopped walnuts or 1 cup pecans
2 tsp vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp ginger
1/2 tsp salt
1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup margarine, softened
1/2 tsp grated lemon peel
1/2 tsp grated orange peel
1 1/2 tsp lemon juice
1 1/2 tsp orange juice
2 cups powdered sugar

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 13 x 9 inch baking pan or three 8 inch cake pans for a three layer cake. Drain pineapple well, pressing out excess juice.
In large bowl, beat mayonnaise and sugars until well-blended. Beat in eggs until blended. Stir in pineapple, carrots, raisins, nuts, and vanilla.
In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking soda, ginger cinnamon and salt. Mix dry ingredients into pineapple mixture until well blended. Pour batter into prepared pan(s).
Bake 50-60 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean (if using 8 inch pans, bake 30 - 35 minutes). Cool completely before frosting.
For frosting, beat cream cheese and butter until smooth. Beat in remaining ingredients until blended and smooth. If using the 8 inch layers for a three layer cake, double frosting ingredients to spread between layers and ice the top and sides.
