Steps to follow
1
In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.
2
In another large bowl, beat together the oil and sugar until well combined. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
3
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Fold in the grated carrots, walnuts, pineapple, and raisins.
4
Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans.
5
Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean. Allow to cool in pans for 10 minutes, then turn out onto wire racks to cool completely.
6
For the frosting, beat together the butter, cream cheese, and vanilla until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar, beating until creamy and of spreading consistency.
7
Frost the cooled cakes. Place one cake layer on a serving plate, spread frosting over the top. Add the second layer and spread frosting on top and around the sides. Garnish with additional chopped walnuts if desired.
