  9. 4. Add this to your wet ingredients. Stirring in very well, folding in the flour over and over from the top to the bottom of the bowl. Mix well.
  10. Pour batter into prepared tube pan or you can make round layer cakes. This would make a lovely 3 layer cake!

  12. Cook for about 60 minutes and test with a toothpick for doneness. If it comes out a bit wet or sticky, add 5 minutes between testing.
  13. Let this cool for 10-15 minutes, turn over onto a cake plate or dinner plate, and then quickly turn it over again. So the top of the cake is right side up.
  14. To make your frosting; melt butter and add to softened cream cheese. Stir until all is smooth. Add the vanilla. Add the confectioner's sugar, and stir until smooth. If this is too thick, add a few drops at a time of coffee creamer or milk. If the frosting is too thin, add by the spoonful more confectioner's sugar.

This is a similar Carrot Cake recipe I already posted, with a different additive. I wanted to show what it looked like in a 3-layer cake with Cream Cheese frosting decorated with pineapple topping and pineapple in between each layer
