• 1 dash freshly grated nutmeg
• 2 tablespoons orange juice

• 1/2 cup crushed pineapple
• 1/2 cup walnut oil
• 3 large eggs
• 3 cups grated peeled carrots
• 1 cup coarsely chopped walnuts

• 2 tablespoons freshly grated ginger
• Icing:
• 16 ounces cream cheese, soft
• Powdered sugar to taste/consistency (about 1 1/2 cups)
