Preparation:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Generously grease and flour 2 9" round layer cake pans and set aside. In large bowl combine cake mix, pineapple, white chocolate, carrots, oil, water, eggs, pecans, and coconut. Mix on low speed until blended, then beat at medium speed for 2 minutes. Pour into prepared cake pans. Bake at 350 degrees F for 23-30 minutes or until cake springs back when touched lightly in center and begins to pull away from sides of pan. Cool cakes in pans on rack for 10 minutes, then invert onto racks and cool completely.
In medium bowl combine frosting, cream cheese, powdered sugar, and 1/2 tsp. cinnamon and beat until light and fluffy.
To assemble cake, place one layer on serving place, top side down. Build up a rim 1" thick on edge of cake and spoon some frosting into the middle to form a 2" circle. Pour caramel fudge sauce into area between frostings. Top with remaining cake layer, top side up. Frost top and sides of cake with remaining frosting. Store in refrigerator.
