Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9x13-inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
- In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk together the oil, eggs, brown sugar, granulated sugar, crushed pineapple, and vanilla extract until fully combined. Add the grated carrots and chopped walnuts to the wet ingredients and stir until well combined.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix with a whisk or rubber spatula until just combined, making sure not to over mix the batter.
- Pour the cake batter into the prepared baking pan and spread around into one even layer. Bake at 350°F for 35-45 minutes or until the top of the cake is set and a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. If needed, tent with foil for the last 15-20 minutes of baking to prevent excess browning on top of the cake.
- Remove from the oven, transfer to a wire rack, and allow to cool completely in the pan.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or in a large mixing bowl using a hand-held mixer, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the butter and mix for about 30 seconds-1 minute until well combined and smooth. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract and continue mixing until fully combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Using a knife or an offset spatula, top the cooled carrot cake with the cream cheese frosting. Slice into pieces, serve, and enjoy!

Tips:
- Choose ripe and juicy pineapples: This will ensure that your cake is moist and flavorful. You can judge the ripeness of a pineapple by its weight - it should feel heavy for its size. The skin should also be golden yellow, with no green or brown spots.
- Grate the carrots finely: This will help them distribute evenly throughout the cake batter and prevent them from becoming too chunky. You can use a food processor or a box grater to grate the carrots.
- Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter and more tender cake. Cream the butter and sugar for at least 2 minutes on medium speed.
- Add the eggs one at a time: This will help to prevent the batter from curdling. Beat each egg in a small bowl before adding it to the batter.
- Fold in the flour and spices gradually: This will help to prevent the batter from becoming over-mixed. Use a spatula to gently fold the flour and spices into the batter until just combined.
- Bake the cake at 350°F for 45-50 minutes: Or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely before frosting.
Conclusion:
This carrot and pineapple cake is a delicious and moist cake that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of carrots, pineapple, and spices gives the cake a unique and flavorful taste. The cake is also easy to make and can be decorated with a variety of frostings. If you are looking for a delicious and easy-to-make cake, this carrot and pineapple cake is the perfect recipe for you.
