Hummingbird Carrot Cake image

The addition of pineapple makes this "hummingbird". This is the best carrot cake recipe I've found, totally addictive. The cream cheese icing is a must.

I'm not a big fan of carrot cake, but this hummingbird carrot cake was surprisingly good. The pineapple and coconut added a nice tropical flavor.

This cake was a bit too dense for my taste, but the flavor was good. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

Overall, I thought this cake was good. It was moist and flavorful, but the frosting was a bit too sweet for my taste.

This cake was a disaster! It was dry and crumbly, and the frosting was too runny. I won't be making this recipe again.

This cake was a little too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.
