Cake that's good for you?

This is so moist and yummy.  My mom's famous recipe with carrots and pineapple. It's probably one of the healthier dessert choices out there! That's what I keep telling myself anyways.   :)

Mom's Carrot Cake

1 1/2 Cup Oil
2 Cups Sugar
4 Eggs
2 Tsp Vanilla
2 Tsp Baking Powder
2 Tsp Baking Soda
2 Tsp Cinnamon
1/2 Tsp Salt
2 Cups Flour
2 Cups grated Carrots
1 20 oz can Crushed Pineapple (drained)
2 Cups Chopped Walnuts (optional) (I normally don't use nuts, my family is nutty enough)
(I also like to add a cup or so of flaked coconut)

Mix all ingredients together.  Pour into two greased and floured 9 inch round baking pans.  Bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes.  Let cool and frost.


Mom's Cream Cheese Frosting


1 8oz pkg Cream Cheese
1 lb Powder Sugar
1/2 stick of Butter
2 Tsp Vanilla

Mix until Creamy.  Instead of using vanilla, I like to use the pineapple juice from the crushed pineapple.  You can always add a little more juice and then powder sugar to get the flavor and consistency that you like.
