Instructions :
-
Prepare two round cake pans about 20 centimetres (8 inches) in diameter by lining them with baking paper and lightly greasing or spraying them. Put aside for later.
-
In a basin of medium size, combine the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and spices by stirring them together. Make room for
-
Eggs, oil, milk, lemon juice, and vanilla extract should be mixed together in a large bowl using a whisk or a hand mixer until they are completely incorporated into the mixture.
-
There is no need to be concerned if the liquid separates; it will reunite at a later time.
-
The flour mixture should be added gradually, with periodic stops to scrape down the bowl. Blend the batter until the flour mixture is completely integrated.
-
The grated carrot, pineapple, coconut, and chopped almonds should be folded in at this point.
-
After the cake pans have been prepped, divide the batter amongst them.

-
I baked it at a temperature of 160 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit) for approximately thirty minutes, or until it had browned, the edges had pulled away from the sides of the pan, and it had a springy quality to the touch.
-
It is recommended that cakes be allowed to rest for ten minutes before being removed from the pans and allowed to cool completely on a wire rack.
Frosting
-
The butter, salt, and cream cheese should be placed in a large basin. Using a hand mixer, combine the ingredients, add vanilla extract, and gradually add icing sugar while the mixer is set at a low speed. While beating, add the lemon juice and zest.
-
There should be a lot of smoothness and airiness in the forsting.
-
When the cakes have reached room temperature or have been chilled for twenty to thirty minutes, apply the frosting on one layer, and then proceed to add the next layer.
-
Frost the top of the cake as well as the sides, if you so want. Sprinkle some toasted coconut and nuts on top as a garnish.
