DAVID'S FAVORITE CARROT CAKE WITH PINEAPPLE CREAM CHEESE FROSTING
Steps:
- For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease two 9-inch cake pans with the butter.
- In a large bowl, add the granulated sugar, oil, brown sugar and eggs and mix together. Add the flour, carrots, coconut, walnuts, cinnamon, almond extract, baking powder, salt and pineapple and fold the ingredients together.

- For the frosting: Meanwhile, in a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, add the cream cheese, confectioners' sugar, butter and pineapple juice. Mix until smooth and incorporated.
- To frost the cake: Carefully remove the cooled cakes from the pans. Using an offset spatula, place a dollop of the frosting on the cake stand and spread to create a sticky base. Place one layer on the frosting on the cake stand. Thickly frost the entire top of the cake and place the other layer atop the now frosted one. Beginning with the top of the new layer, frost generously. Place a large dollop of frosting on the side of the cake and spin the cake to evenly frost the sides. Garnish with the remaining walnuts.

CARROT CAKE WITH PINEAPPLE CREAM CHEESE FROSTING
This rich, moist cake has all the flavor, without all the fat and calories. Because it is so full of carrots, pineapple, and nuts it is similar to a fruit bread. For the best flavor, bake the cake one day ahead.

CARROT & PINEAPPLE BUNDT CAKE WITH CREAM CHEESE FROSTING
My SIL wanted a carrot cake for her birthday. I am not keen on layered cakes. They are too much of a pain to make. Bundt cakes have the less hassle and pretty presentation factor. My first attempt was in a more complex designed bundt pan and it was a flop! Use a simple design bundt pan, make sure to grease it up really well, and flour it.

CREAM CHEESE PINEAPPLE PUDDING/FROSTING
I have been making this since my son, Jeremy was small, twenty-five years now. He did bring the cake out of the refrigerator one time, the cake being "top heavy" landed upside down on the floor. Now he knows when mom say's she is making "pineapple upside down cake", he knows what I'm making! I also made it for my Dad's 4th of July birthday party, everyone loved it! You can also make it as a pudding, and put in individual serving dishes, for about 8 -10 people. It's that good!

PINEAPPLE CREAM CHEESE FROSTING
This is a great 'shower' cake...baby showers, bridal showers, etc. It has kind of a pina colada taste, especially if you add coconut on top...fresh and fruity, very good in spring & summer. I usually use it over a yellow cake, but have also used white...would probably be good on a coconut cake, too. Be creative! :o)

PINEAPPLE ZUCCHINI CAKE (WITHOUT) CREAM CHEESE FROSTING RECIPE - (4.4/5)
Provided by Foodiewife
Number Of Ingredients 23
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. To prepare cake, lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flour, sugar, coconut, baking soda, salt, and spices in a large bowl; stir well with a whisk. Combine oil, eggs, and vanilla; stir well. Stir egg mixture, grated zucchini, and pineapple** into flour mixture. Batter might be stiff and dry but keep folding it and it will all come together. If it still seems too dry, just add a little splash of the pineapple juice. NOTE: I found that the batter was easy to work with, and I didn't need the addition of pineapple juice. **I felt that one 20-ounce can of pineapple was a little too much for this cake. However, adjust this or not, according to your preferences. TASTING NOTES: Loved this cake! It was super delicious and I did use whole wheat pastry flour. I did not miss the icing one little bit-- it's a great snacking cake, and maybe a great way to sneak in some veggies. Spoon batter into a 13 x 9-inch baking pan coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350° for about 33-35 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs and cake is pulling away from sides of pan. Cool completely on a wire rack. To prepare frosting, combine butter and cream cheese in a large bowl. Beat with a mixer at medium speed until smooth. Beat in powdered sugar and vanilla just until smooth. Add a splash of milk or pineapple juice if necessary. Spread frosting over top of cake. You can garnish with chopped pecans or walnuts, if desired. NOTES : If your zucchini are huge, scrape the seeds out of the center before you shred it so it's not too watery. Also, I spread it all out on layers of paper towel to drain it and dry it off a bit. Then I measure out 2 cups. Not sure if this is critical though. Nuts can also be added to the cake batter if desired. This recipe makes a very generous amount of frosting. And this recipe can be turned into a Carrot Cake just by substituting shredded carrots for the zucchini.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- 2. Whisk together the flour, sugar and baking soda. Add the beaten eggs, crushed pineapple (reserving 3 tablespoons of the juice), vanilla extract and pecans. Mix just until combined and pour into the baking pan. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow cake to fully cool for several hours before icing.
- 3. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Spread sweetened coconut in a thin layer on baking sheet. Bake 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned; flipping halfway.
- 4. Using a mixer beat the cream cheese, butter, and reserved pineapple juice until smooth and creamy. Add the powdered sugar 1/2 cup at a time; scraping down the sides. Spread over the completely cooled cake. Sprinkle the top with toasted coconut.
Tips:
- Use a stand mixer or hand mixer to beat the cream cheese and butter until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the frosting, making it smooth and creamy.
- Make sure the cream cheese and butter are at room temperature before you start mixing. This will help them to combine more easily and create a smooth frosting.
- If you don't have a stand or hand mixer, you can beat the cream cheese and butter by hand. However, it will take longer and the frosting may not be as smooth.
- Add the pineapple, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture and beat until well combined. You can adjust the amount of powdered sugar you add to taste.
- If you want a thicker frosting, you can add more powdered sugar. If you want a thinner frosting, you can add a little bit of milk or cream.
- Once the frosting is the desired consistency, spread it on your favorite cake, cupcakes, or cookies. You can also use it as a filling for cakes or pies.
Conclusion:
Cream cheese pineapple frosting is a delicious and versatile frosting that can be used on a variety of desserts. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced baker, this frosting is sure to be a hit. Give it a try and see for yourself how delicious it is!
