Method
Cake Preparation
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9-inch round cake pans.
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and granulated sugar until well combined.
Combine Mixtures
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently. Fold in the grated carrots and crushed pineapple until evenly distributed.
Bake the Cake
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool the Cakes
Remove the cakes from the oven and allow them to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Frosting Preparation
Prepare the Frosting
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter together until creamy and smooth.
Add Sugar and Vanilla
Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until the frosting is light and fluffy.
Frost the Cake
Once the cakes are completely cooled, spread a layer of frosting on top of one cake layer, place the other layer on top, and frost the top and sides of the cake.
