- Preheat oven to 350 degrees . Grease & flour two 9" round cake pans. In a large bowl, blend together the oil & sugars. Add in the Large eggs 1 at a time, beating after each addition till blended. In a separate bowl, sift together the flours, salt, soda, baking pwdr & cinnamon. Add in the flour mix, 1/3 at a time to the oil mix, beating just sufficient to blend. Mix in the carrots & pineapple & stir in the nuts. Pour the batter into the prepared pans. Bake 35-40 min or possibly till a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cold the cakes in the pans for 10 min, then turn out onto a rack to cold completely. Spread lemon cream cheese frosting over the first cake layer. Top with the second layer & spread frosting over the top of the cake. Allow to rest one day for best flavor. Chill up to a week or possibly freeze without frosting.
- For frosting: Cream together the cream cheese & butter till fluffy. Add in the confectioners' sugar & beat till well blended. Beat in the vanilla & lemon peel.
