directions

  • Beat together corn oil, sugar and eggs until well combined.
  • In a bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and cloves.
  • Add to egg-sugar mixture, mixing well.
  • Drain the pineapple well.
  • Add the carrots, walnuts, raisins and pineapple to mixture.
  • Blend to mix well.
  • Pour batter into a 9-10 inch greased and floured cake pan. *I use a springform pan and then split the cake into two layers.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for approximately one hour or until a pick inserted in center comes out clean.
  • Let cake cool on rack.
  • Prepare frosting.
  • Cream Cheese Icing:.
  • In a medium mixer bowl, cream butter and cream cheese together until smooth. Add confectioner's sugar, milk and vanilla. Beat on high until smooth. This recipe yields approximately 5 1/2 cups. You'll have plenty extra which I think is better than having too little! : ).

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Hello.. :) Boy, am I glad I discovered RecipeZaar! I've found some really great recipes here. I'm from Long Island, NY, but recently relocated to Port St. Lucie, FL. I work as a Document Specialist for a large publishing company. I love to cook; I don't have a favorite cookbook - I enjoy trying out recipes from ordinary people who are willing to share them. :) My passions are cooking, baking, my pets, shopping, reading, listening to music and watching movies. I have lots of pet peeves, but one of my biggest are people who don't use seasoning in their foods! lol. If I had a month off from work with no responsibilities (assuming this is with pay, of course) I would shop, shop & shop! :)
