– 3 cups all-purpose flour – 2 cups granulated sugar – 1 tablespoon baking powder – 2 teaspoons baking soda – 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon – 1 teaspoon ground ginger

– 1 teaspoon kosher salt – 1 1/2 cups vegetable oil – 4 large eggs – 1 tablespoon vanilla extract – 2 cups grated carrots – 1 cup crushed pineapple, drained – 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut – 1 cup chopped pecans

Cream Cheese Frosting: – 16 oz cream cheese, softened – 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened – 2 teaspoons vanilla extract – 5-6 cups powdered sugar

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease and flour three 8-inch (20 cm) cake pans.

2. In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, and salt.

3. Add the oil, eggs, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.

4. Fold in the grated carrots, crushed pineapple, shredded coconut, and chopped pecans.

5. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

6. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove them from the pans and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

7. To make the cream cheese frosting, beat the cream cheese, butter, and vanilla extract together until light and fluffy. Gradually add in the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, until the frosting is thick and creamy.

8. Once the cakes are cooled, spread a generous amount of frosting between each layer and over the top and sides of the cake. 9. Serve and enjoy!
