I've been baking carrot cake for years, and this recipe is by far the best one I've tried. The cake is moist and flavorful, and the icing is to die for.

The cream cheese icing is absolutely divine. It's light and fluffy, and it pairs perfectly with the moist carrot cake.

I was a little skeptical about using pineapple in a carrot cake, but I'm so glad I did. It added a delicious sweetness and moisture to the cake.
