Ingredients

2 cups sugar
4 eggs
1 ½ cups oil
2 cups flour
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla
8 oz can crushed pineapple drained
1 lb carrots peeled and grated (I just buy them already shredded!)

Cream Cheese Frosting:

8 oz cream cheese softened
½ cup butter softened
1 tsp vanilla
4 cups powdered sugar

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°.
Mix oil, eggs and sugar. Beat well.
Mix all dry ingredients together and then add two mixtures together, stirring just until combined. Pour into a greased 9X13 pan and bake for 40 minutes.
Cool completely and then frost.
To make frosting: Blend cream cheese and butter until smooth and then add vanilla and powdered sugar, mixing well. You can add 1-2 Tbsp milk if the frosting is too thick to spread. Spread over cooled cake.
