Preparation Steps
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
In another bowl, whisk together the sugar, vegetable oil, and eggs until well combined.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the crushed pineapple, coconut, and nuts.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
While the cake cools, prepare the frosting. In a medium bowl, beat together the cream cheese and butter until smooth.
Gradually add the powdered sugar, beating until combined and fluffy. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Once the cake is completely cool, spread the cream cheese frosting over the top.
