Lightly grease two 9" round cake pans. TO MAKE THE CAKE: In a large bowl, beat together the eggs and granulated sugar until blended. Add the pineapple, carrots, oil, the 1/2 cup of pecan pieces, the baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and the 1 ts of vanilla extract. Beat until well blended. Add the flour. Mix until well blended. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pans. In a preheated oven, bake the cake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the middle of each layer comes out clean. Cool on wire cooling racks. TO MAKE THE ICING: In a medium bowl, beat together the butter/margarine and powdered sugar until creamy. Add the cream cheese and vanilla extract. Beat the mixture until smooth and creamy. Fill between the layers and ice the outside of the cake. Garnish with the pecans and carrots. Makes one 9" layer cake. TIPS: Allow the cake to cool completely before icing. Place the bottom layer of the cake upside-down side up on the plate and the top layer right-side up, for the best shape. Lightly brush the cake to remove any loose crumbs. Spread a thin layer of the icing on sides of the cake to "set" any remaining crumbs before icing the entire cake.
