PINEAPPLE CARROT CAKE
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

BUTTERMILK-GLAZED PINEAPPLE-CARROT CAKE
This easy pineapple-carrot cake first ran in The New York Times Magazine in the spring of 1972, and it is one of the recipes that former Times columnist Joyce Purnick clipped and saved for decades in her recipe file. This is a snacking cake, mighty sweet, which benefits from a cup of coffee or another bitter drink to cut through the sugar. It might remind you of Jamaican black cake. Pour some rum on top if you so desire.

Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid any mishaps.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Whenever possible, use fresh ingredients for the best flavor. Fresh carrots, pineapple, and spices will give your cake a delicious and vibrant taste.
- Grate the Carrots Finely: Grating the carrots finely will help them distribute evenly throughout the batter and give the cake a smooth texture.
- Cream the Butter and Sugar Thoroughly: This step is essential for creating a light and fluffy cake. Cream the butter and sugar together until they are pale and fluffy, and then gradually add the eggs.
- Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Use a Bundt Pan: A Bundt pan is ideal for baking this cake because it helps to create a moist, evenly cooked cake.
- Cool the Cake Completely Before Frosting: Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting set properly and prevent it from melting.

With its moist texture, sweet flavor, and beautiful appearance, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
