2 teaspoon Vanilla
2 cup A.P. flour
2 teaspoon Cinnamon
2 teaspoon Baking soda
1 teaspoon Salt
7 ounce Flaked coconut
2 cup Shredded carrots
13 One half ounce Crushed pineapple, well

1 cup Chopped nuts (your choice)
Cream Cheese Frosting
8 ounce Softened cream cheese
1 tablespoon Milk (homogenized)

a smaller bowl.

Add the sifted ingredients to the oil, sugar, eggs, vanilla mixture, and
mix well using the whisk. Stir in the flaked coconut, the carrots, the
crushed pineapple,and the chopped nuts, using the whisk. Pour into a well
greased and floured 13 X 9 X 2 pan, (You may use a Bundt pan or a tube pan)
and bake at 350 F. for 50 to 60 minutes. Allow it to cool in the pan about
30 minutes.

While it bakes: Test the cake after 30 minutes, the typical test of the
center of the cake being done is used, the center is firm, but by using a
toothpick or skewer to test, this cake should be almost underdone!

Frost as desired, using Cream cheese or butter frosting (cream cheese
suggested), using this mixture.

Cream Cheese Frosting: Mix the cream cheese, the milk, the vanilla, and the
salt, then add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, until it is well
mixed.
