**Carrot Cake:**
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.

- Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and cardamom to the wet ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Fold in the grated carrots and pineapple until just combined.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared pans.
- Bake for about 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cakes to cool completely before icing.
**Cream Cheese Icing:**
- In a large bowl or stand mixer, beat the softened butter and cream cheese on medium-high speed until fluffy (about 2 minutes).
- Add the salt, almond extract, and vanilla. Mix until combined.
- On low speed, gradually add the powdered sugar, 1/2 cup at a time.
- Once all the sugar is added, increase the speed to medium-high and whip until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes).
- Spread the icing generously over each layer of the cooled cake, stacking them as you go. Cover the top and sides with icing as well.
