This is a very dense cake rather than a cake-like texture. It is more about the add-ins. The recipe was in one of the Penzey's catalogs. It is delicious and easy.
1-1/2 cups sugar
3/4 cup vegetable oil
3 eggs
3/4 cup buttermilk
2 t vanilla
2 cups flour
2 t baking soda
2 t cinnamon
1/4 t salt
2 cups shredded carrots (about 6 med)
1 cup flaked coconut
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 8 oz crushed pineapple with juice
1 cup golden raisins
Heat oven to 350.
In a large bowl beat together the sugar, oil, eggs, buttermilk and vanilla. In a second bowl combine the flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt and stir. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the batter. Mix gently. Fold in the carrots, coconut, walnuts, pineapple and raisins. Pour into a greased 9 x 13 pan and bake for about one hour until toothpick in center comes out clean. Cool completely before frosting.
Frosting:
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup butter, softened
2 t vanilla
3-1/2 cups powdered sugar
Cream together the cream cheese and butter until fluffy. Add the vanilla and stir. Sift the powdered sugar in gradually and beat until thoroughly blended.
Hope you enjoy. A piece with coffee was good for breakfast this morning...

My recipe is very, very similar but since I am allergic to walnuts, I use pecans. Good, yummy recipe.
