SPICED WALNUT CARROT CAKE WITH PINEAPPLE
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a large mixing bowl, toss together the carrots, walnuts, pineapple, raisins, and coconut with 1/2 cup of the flour to coat them and keep them from sinking to the bottom of the cake batter.
- Sift together the remaining 1 1/2 cups flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, and salt.
- In a mixer with a whip attachment, mix the eggs and sugar until light and fluffy (the "ribbon" stage) then drizzle in the vegetable oil. Fold in the dry ingredients and pour over the carrot mixture. Fold carefully to blend, then pour the batter into a buttered, floured 10 by 3-inch cake pan containing a circle of parchment paper in the bottom. Bake until firm to the touch in the center, about 1 to 1 1/4 hours. Let cool on a rack and then turn out. Dust the top with powdered sugar and cut into wedges to serve.
CARROT AND PINEAPPLE CAKE
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Butter 2 (8-inch) round cake pans. Line with parchment paper, then butter and flour the pans.
- For the cake: Beat the sugar, oil, and eggs together in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment until light yellow. Add the vanilla. In another bowl, sift together 2 1/2 cups flour, the cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Toss the raisins and walnuts with 1 tablespoon flour. Fold in the carrots and pineapple. Add to the batter and mix well.
- Divide the batter equally between the 2 pans. Bake for 55 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool completely in the pans set over a wire rack.
- For the frosting: Mix the cream cheese, butter and vanilla in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment until just combined. Add the sugar and mix until smooth.
- Place 1 layer, flat-side up, on a flat plate or cake pedestal. With a knife or offset spatula, spread the top with frosting. Place the second layer on top, rounded side up, and spread the frosting evenly on the top and sides of the cake. Decorate with diced pineapple.
SHORTCUT CARROT CAKE
This is one of the best carrot cakes we have had. It is from Kraft, and is SO easy. I changed it a tad, by adding golden raisins to my liking, and I made it in a 11x13 pan, and added baking time to it until it tested done as directed. The prep time was based on shredding the carrots, but buying the prepared carrots cuts the prep time to about 10 minutes!

Tips:
- Use fresh pineapple and carrots for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh pineapple, you can use canned pineapple, but be sure to drain it well.
- Grate the carrots finely so that they blend well into the cake. You can use a food processor or a box grater.
- Be sure to cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the cake, making it light and tender.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help to prevent the cake from curdling.
- Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and spices together before adding them to the batter. This will help to ensure that they are evenly distributed throughout the cake.
- Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
- Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that it bakes evenly.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
