Beat oil, carrots, zucchini, and eggs in a large bowl with an electric mixer on low speed until well blended. Beat in honey. Stir in flour mixture gradually, then beat on medium speed until batter is smooth, about 3 minutes. Divide batter evenly among the prepared cake pans.

Meanwhile, make the frosting: Beat confectioners’ sugar, pineapple, cream cheese, walnuts, butter, and vanilla in a large bowl with an electric mixer until smooth.

Spread frosting over the top of each cooled cake layer. Stack layers, then frost sides and top.
