Time 1h55m

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

3 cups carrot, hand-grated
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, plus 1 tablespoon, divided
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon allspice
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 cup light brown sugar, packed
½ cup granulated sugar
3 large eggs, room temperature
1 cup vegetable oil
1 cup raisin
1 cup crushed pineapple, canned
1 cup unsalted butter, (2 sticks) room temperature
12 oz cream cheese, room temperature
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups powdered sugar
2 cups walnuts, crushed

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350˚F (180˚C). Grease 3 8-inch (20 cm) round cake pans and line with parchment paper.
  • Grate the carrots on the small holes of a box grater. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, sift together 2½ cups (310 G) of flour, the cinnamon, allspice, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Whisk together.
  • In a separate large bowl, beat the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and eggs together with an electric hand mixer on medium speed until just combined.
  • With the mixer running, gradually pour in the vegetable oil.
  • With the mixer on medium-low speed, add ⅓ of the flour mixture at a time to the wet ingredients. Beat just to incorporate. Stop mixing when there is just a small amount of flour visible.
  • In a small bowl, toss the raisins with the remaining tablespoon of flour.
  • Add the raisin, grated carrots, and pineapple to the batter and fold to incorporate with a rubber spatula.
  • Divide the cake batter evenly between the prepared pans and smooth the tops.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes, until a fork inserted in the center of a cake comes out clean.
  • Cool the cakes on a wire rack until the pans are cool to the touch. Remove the cakes from the pans and let cool completely on the rack.
  • Make the icing: In a large bowl, beat together the butter, cream cheese, and vanilla with an electric hand mixer on medium-low speed. Once combined, mix on medium-high speed for 30 seconds, until light and fluffy.
  • Add the powdered sugar, ½ cup (60 G) at a time, beating on medium-low speed to incorporate each addition.
  • Assemble the cake: Check to see if the top of each cake is flat. If not, use a serrated knife level off the cakes.
  • Place 1 cake layer on a serving platter or cake stand. Spoon ¼ of the icing on top and spread in an even layer. Add another layer of cake and spread with another ¼ of the icing. Set the last cake layer on top with the bottom up to ensure a very flat surface. Spread the rest of the icing over the top and sides.
  • Gently press the walnuts into the icing around the sides of the cake.
  • Chill for 30-60 minutes to let the icing set, then slice and serve.
  • Enjoy!
