Ingredients

Let’s gather the ingredients for this mouth-watering trifle:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 4 large eggs
  • 3 cups grated carrots
  • 1 cup crushed pineapple, drained
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
  • 2 cups cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups whipped cream

Instructions

Now that you have your ingredients, let’s get started!

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
  3. Add in the vegetable oil and eggs, mixing until well combined. Fold in the grated carrots, crushed pineapple, and walnuts if using.
  4. Divide the batter between the prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  5. Allow the cakes to cool completely before removing them from the pans.
  6. While the cakes are cooling, prepare the cream cheese layer. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the whipped cream until fully incorporated.
  7. Once the cakes are cool, crumble them into bite-sized pieces.
  8. In a large trifle dish or individual cups, layer the crumbled cake, cream cheese mixture, and additional whipped cream as desired. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used.
  9. Refrigerate the trifle for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
