Method
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 23 cm round cake pans, lining them with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
- In a larger bowl, beat the granulated sugar, brown sugar, oil, and eggs until creamy.
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently to combine; fold in the grated carrots, crushed pineapple, and coconut.
- Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cakes to cool completely before frosting.
- Beat the softened cream cheese and butter until smooth, then gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla until the glaze is silky and spreadable.
- Spread the glaze generously between the cake layers and on top, decorating as desired.

Notes
For best flavor, use freshly grated carrots and drain the pineapple thoroughly to prevent a soggy cake. The cake remains fresh for up to 3 days at room temperature if stored in an airtight container. For longer storage, freeze individual slices for up to 2 months.
