2 cups flour, all-purpose
1 tablespoon cinnamon ground
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup vegetable oil
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar firmly packed
4 large eggs
1 1/2 cups carrots finely grated
1 cup pineapple, canned, crushed drained

3/4 cup pecans chopped
Frosting
8 ounces cream cheese at room temperature
1 cup powdered sugar
3 tablespoons butter at room temperature

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Banana-Sour Cream Coffee Cake

I just made this coffee cake this afternoon and it is very good. A scoop of icecream would be really good!! However, just a note to everyone that it calls for 4 teaspoons of salt. I think this is a typo. I used 1/2 teaspoon and it was really good - I really do think 4 teaspoons would be way too much.
