Pineapple Carrot Cake image

This moist cake with cream cheese frosting is the best I've ever eaten. It's so simple, too, because it uses two jars of baby food instead of fresh carrots that need to be grated. -Jeanette McKenna, Vero Beach, Florida

3 large eggs
1 tsp baking powder

1 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract (or imitation)
2 Tbsp fresh grated carrot (optional if you like a little texture in your cake)

Steps:

  • 1. Mix eggs, sugar and oil together. Sift together and add dry ingredients to wet mix, then vanilla. Fold in carrots.

Tips:

  • For a smoother cake texture, use a food processor to blend the carrots and coconut until very fine.
  • Be sure to grease and flour the cake pan thoroughly to prevent the cake from sticking.
  • If you don't have a springform pan, you can use a regular 9-inch cake pan, but you'll need to carefully invert the cake onto a serving plate after it has cooled.
  • For a more intense coconut flavor, use unsweetened shredded coconut in the cake batter and toasted coconut in the frosting.
  • If you don't have any pineapple juice on hand, you can substitute orange juice or apple juice.
