Carrot-Zucchini Cake - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 cup white sugar
    1 cup all-purpose flour
    1 cup whole wheat flour
    2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
    1 teaspoon salt
    1 teaspoon baking soda
    1 1/2 cups vegetable oil
    4 eggs
    1 cup grated carrot
    1 cup grated zucchini
    1/2 cup honey
    Frosting:
    1 (16 ounce) package confectioners' sugar
    1 cup crushed pineapple, well drained
    1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
    1/2 cup chopped walnuts
    1/4 cup butter, softened
    2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Preparation
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour three 8-inch round cake pans.
    Mix sugar, all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, cinnamon, salt, and baking soda in a bowl.
    Combine oil, eggs, carrots, and zucchini in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer on low speed until well blended. Beat in honey. Stir in sugar mixture gradually; beat on medium speed until batter is smooth, about 3 minutes.
    Divide batter evenly among prepared cake pans.
    Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Cool in the pans for 5 minutes. Invert onto a wire rack; allow to cool completely, about 25 minutes.
    Combine confectioners' sugar, pineapple, cream cheese, walnuts, butter, and vanilla extract in a large bowl; beat until frosting is smooth. Spread over cooled cakes and stack.
