PREPARATION
Grate the carrots in a food processor or on a grater and set them aside. Cream the sugar, vanilla and eggs until smooth. Add the oil and mix.

Sift the dry ingredients together and combine them with the creamed ingredients. Fold in the grated carrots, drained crushed pineapple and the walnuts.

Pour the mixture into a greased springform pan lined with parchment paper. Bake the cake for 45 minutes @ 350ºF or until the cake seems firm. The cake will be very moist. When the cake is done and cooled, remove the sides and bottom of the spring form pan and place the cake on a serving dish.

TOPPING

Let the cream cheese come to room temperature. Mix all the topping ingredients until smooth. Spread it over the entire cake. Chop the walnuts and cover the sides of the cake by pressing the walnuts onto the cream cheese.
