"As I ate the oysters with their strong taste of the sea and their faint metallic taste that the cold white wine washed away, leaving only the sea taste and the succulent texture, and as I drank their cold liquid from each shell and washed it down with the crisp taste of the wine, I lost the empty feeling and began to be happy, and to make plans."--Ernest Hemingway

Ingredients:  
3 large Eggs -- Beaten
2 cups Sugar
1 cup Salad Oil -- + 2 Tbps
2 cups Sifted Cake Flour -- + 1 Tbps
1 1/8 teaspoon Cinnamon
1 teaspoon Nutmeg
1 1/2 teaspoon Salt
1 tablespoon Baking Soda
1 1/2 cup Coconut
2 cups Grated Carrots
1 cup Crushed Pineapple, Drained -- + 2 Tbps
1 cup Chopped Walnuts
1 cup Raisins
****Frosting****
3/4 cup Soft Butter
12 ounces Cream Cheese
3 cups Confectioner's Sugar
1 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla
1 teaspoon Cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour three 8"
layer cake pans.
With mixer on high speed, cream eggs, sugar and oil
until creamy and
thick, 3 to 5 minutes. Sift together flour (which has
been sifted once,
remember!) cinnamon, nutmeg, salt and soda. Slowly add
1/3 of dry to egg
mixture; beat well. Repeat with remaining dry
ingredients, beating well
after each addition. Batter will be stiff. One at a

coconut, carrots, pineapple, walnuts and raisins.
Divide batter among
prepared pans. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes until tester

middle comes out clean. Let cakes cool in pans 5
minutes before turning
out onto racks to cool completely.

For Frosting: Cream butter and cream cheese. Add
vanilla and cinnamon.
Slowly add confectioner's sugar and beat until smooth
and spreadable.
Frost cooled cake.
