In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, allspice, cloves, nutmeg and salt. Set aside.
In another bowl, combine the sugar, oil and eggs with a whisk. Gently stir in the dry ingredients. With a spatula, gently fold in the carrots, pineapple, walnuts, cherries and raisins.
Divide the batter between the pans. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean, about 1 hour. Cool in the pans on a rack. Run the blade of a knife around the cakes and unmold.
For the frosting: In a bowl, cream the cream cheese with the butter and icing sugar with an electric mixer. Add the zest and juice and continue beating until the frosting is smooth and creamy.
Spread the frosting over the top of the cakes and stack them on a platter.
For the maple walnuts: In a skillet, bring the syrup to a boil. Add the walnuts and stir continuously until the syrup has crystallized around the walnuts. Pour onto a baking sheet covered with parchment paper and let cool. Garnish the cake.

This recipe is absolutely fantastic!!! I made it for Christmas and again for Easter. I wowed my guests to say the very least! The orange juice and zest in the frosting gives it such a great flavor. I added a touch of good vanilla to give it an extra boost. I also prepared the walnuts with honey and brown sugar, due to cost of maple syrup. This will be the recipe I refer to from now on for carrot cake, it was actually the first also! Thanks Chuck! Looking forward to seeing a cookbook by you soon ;

First cake I've ever baked. I'm no chef but I'm comfortable cooking in the kitchen. If you can zest an orange and work a mixer this is the recipe your family will forever thank you for. My wife put me up against the "best chocolate cake" person in her company over this after the first try at it - so we'll see!

Wow!! This cake turned out amazing and even the cake batter was delicious. The frosting was perfect and adding the citrus was genius. It added the perfect touch to the flavors.
I will be making this one again and again.
