1 lb self-rising flour
1 cup sugar
1/2 tsp baking soda

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350\u00b0F. Lightly grease and line two 8-inch cake pans.
For the batter, sift the flour, sugar, baking soda and salt into a large bowl. Add the carrot, pineapple, eggs, oil and vanilla and beat until combined. Stir in the chopped walnuts. Spoon into the prepared pans. Bake for 1 hour, until a skewer inserted in the centers comes out clean. Turn out onto wire racks to cool.
For the frosting, gradually beat the cream cheese into the powdered sugar until fluffy. Mix in the lemon zest.
To assemble, spread half the frosting on top of each cake, then stack them. Sprinkle with silver balls and cut into wedges to serve.
