Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees, and grease three 8-inch round cake pans with nonstick spray.

Step 2

In large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda and salt.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together eggs, oil, applesauce and vanilla.

Step 4

Stir egg mixture into flour mixture until just combined. Fold in carrots, pineapple and walnuts.

Step 5

Evenly divide batter between prepared cake pans and bake in oven for about 45 minutes until a tester inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Set aside to cool.

Step 6

When the cakes feel cool to the touch, place the butter and cream cheese in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and beat on medium-low speed until smooth and creamy, about 3 minutes.

Step 7

With the mixer running on low, gradually add in powdered sugar. Beat on medium until light and fluffy, scraping down the bowl as necessary.

Step 8

Remove the cooled cakes from their tins and place one of the layers, flat side down, on a flat plate or cake stand.

Step 9

Spread with 3/4 cup frosting. Top with another cake layer. Spread with 3/4 cup frosting. Top with final layer.

Step 10

Using icing spatula, spread remaining frosting over the top and sides of the cake, making decorative swirls in the frosting if desired.

Step 11

Press chopped walnuts along the bottom edge of the sides.

Step 12

Cake can be stored, covered in fridge, for up to 3 days. Serve at room temperature.
