Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
- In another bowl, mix oil, eggs, grated carrots, and crushed pineapple until well combined. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in nuts if desired.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let cool in pans for 10 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
- For the frosting, beat cream cheese and butter together until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until creamy and fluffy.
- Once the cakes are completely cool, spread a layer of frosting between the two layers. Frost the top and sides of the cake evenly.
- Use food coloring to paint floral designs on the buttercream as desired. Add floral decorations for an extra touch.
- Slice and serve your beautifully painted cake, perfect for any celebration!
