Time 1h10m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 cups granulated sugar
1 1/3 cups vegetable oil
3 extra-large eggs, at room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups plus 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour, divided
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 cup raisins
1 cup chopped walnuts

1/2 cup diced fresh pineapple
3/4 pound cream cheese, at room temperature
1/2 pound unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 pound confectioners' sugar, sifted
1/2 cup diced fresh pineapple

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.

TO DIE FOR CARROT CAKE

Provided by Trish - Mom On Timeout

Categories     Dessert

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 ¼ cups unsweetened applesauce (or oil, this is what my Nana used)
2 cups granulated sugar
3 eggs (room temperature)
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 cups grated carrots
1 cup shredded sweetened coconut
1 cup chopped nuts (optional)
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup Dole crushed pineapple (not drained! {use the pineapple in JUICE not syrup})
½ cup butter (softened)
8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 pound powdered sugar
top with toasted pecans or coconut if desired

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Combine #1 ingredients. Add #2 ingredients. Stir in #3 ingredients.
  • Pour into a lightly greased 9 x 13 , two 9-inch pans or three 8-inch pans. (The cake is very moist so cutting parchment for the bottom of your pans will ensure they don't stick. I prefer to use the non-stick baking spray that has the flour in it for easy cake removal.)
  • Bake for 35-40 minutes for the 9x13 and 9-inch pans and 25-30 minutes for the 8-inch pans. You're looking for an inserted toothpick to come out clean.
  • Let cakes cool for 10 minutes in the pan and then remove to a cooling rack and let cool completely.

TROPICAL PINEAPPLE BANANA CAKE



Tropical Pineapple Banana Cake image

All of my favorite tropical ingredients in one cake. It is my favorite cake for summer. It is unbelievably moist and tasty. I hope you get a chance to try it and share it with your family and friends. If you don't want to use macadamia nuts - pecans or walnuts will work and be tasty too (: Enjoy!

Provided by Tammy Brownlow

Categories     Cakes

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 25

FOR CAKE:
2 bananas, mashed
20 oz canned pineapple tidbits, drained (reserve 1 tb juice for glaze)
1/2 c sugar
1/2 c light brown sugar, packed
1/2 c butter, softened
1/2 c sour cream
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp banan flavoring
1 1/2 c all purpose flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
FOR GLAZE: (OPTIONAL)
2 Tbsp butter melted
1 Tbsp sugar
1 Tbsp spiced rum
1 Tbsp pineapple juice
FOR TOPPING:
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1 1/3 c evaporated milk
1 1/3 c sugar
1/2 c butter
12 oz bag flaked coconut
1/2 c chopped macadamia nuts (you may substitute pecans or walnuts)

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In your mixer cream butter and sugars on medium speed until fluffy. Add eggs, mashed banana, pineapple, vanilla and banana extracts, sour cream. Mix on low until well combined.
  • 2. In a separate bowl combine flour, salt and baking soda.

TROPICAL PINEAPPLE SAUCE



Tropical Pineapple Sauce image

With a little knife work and a slow simmer, the pineapple sauce is ready in no time at all. While it shines in a banana split, turning a sundae from typical to tropical, you'll find many other ways to use it: between the layers of a classic yellow cake, added to yogurt or cottage cheese, or combined with spicy mustard and chopped scallions for a sensational baked chicken.

Categories     condiments, project, sauces and gravies

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 cups, or 4 half-pint jars

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 cups finely diced, very ripe pineapple; about 2 pineapples
2 cups white sugar
1 cup brown sugar
6 stalks fresh mint, rinsed and tied into a bundle
Juice of one lemon
1/4 cup dark rum

Steps:

  • Dice pineapple into 1/2-inch pieces, removing any brown eyes. Combine fruit, sugars, mint and lemon juice. Cover and leave on the counter for 1 hour.
  • Stir pineapple mixture and discard the mint. Add mixture to a heavy nonreactive pan and simmer slowly, stirring regularly, for about an hour, until sauce is very thick and clear and has reached 220 degrees.
  • Add rum. Stir until mixture is thick and clear again, about 5 minutes. Sauce will keep 3 months in the refrigerator or a year if processed.
  • To process, put a rack in a large stockpot or line the pot with a folded kitchen towel, then fill the pot with water and bring to a boil. Add 4 half-pint canning jars and boil for 10 minutes. Jars may be left in the warm water in the pot until ready to be filled. Alternatively, sterilize the jars by running them through a dishwasher cycle, leaving them inside until ready to fill.
  • Place canning rings in a small saucepan, cover with water and bring to a boil. Turn off heat and add the lids to soften rubber gaskets. Rings and lids may be left in the water until jars are filled.
  • Remove the jars from the water bath and ladle hot sauce into warm jars, leaving 1/2-inch of headspace. Run a plastic knife gently around the inside of the jar to remove any air bubbles. Recheck the headspace.
  • Wipe jar rims clean with a damp towel. Place the lids on the jars, screw on the rings and lower the jars back into the pot of boiling water. Return to a full boil and boil for 15 minutes. Transfer jars to a folded towel and let cool for 12 hours. You should hear them ping as they seal.
  • Once cool, test the seals by removing rings and lifting jars by the flat lids. If a lid releases, the seal has not formed. Unsealed jars should be refrigerated and used within 3 months, or reprocessed. Rings and jars may be reused, but a new flat lid must be used each time.

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: The fresher your ingredients, the better your cake will taste. If possible, use organic fruits and vegetables.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make your cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake at the right temperature: The temperature of your oven can affect the texture of your cake. Make sure to preheat your oven to the correct temperature before baking.
  • Don't overbake the cake: Overbaking the cake can make it dry. Check the cake for doneness a few minutes before the baking time is up.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help the frosting to set properly.

Conclusion:

This tropical pineapple carrot cake is a delicious and unique dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of pineapple, carrot, and coconut gives this cake a moist and flavorful crumb, while the cream cheese frosting adds a creamy and tangy touch. Whether you're looking for a special treat for a party or just a sweet snack to enjoy at home, this cake is sure to please everyone.
