Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9-inch round cake pans or one 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
- In another bowl, beat together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vegetable oil until smooth and creamy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Gradually fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined.
- Fold in the grated carrots, drained crushed pineapple, and shredded coconut, ensuring even distribution.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pans and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10-15 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
- Prepare the frosting by beating the cream cheese and butter together until fluffy, then add powdered sugar gradually.
- Frost the cooled cakes, stacking the layers and smoothing the frosting on top and sides.

Notes
Use freshly grated carrots and well-drained pineapple for best results. Avoid overmixing for a light, fluffy texture.
