A PLUS CARROT CAKE
Tired of the same old, boring carrot cake? THIS is the Carrot cake you'll love forever! A little different because some of the ingredients aren't what you'd find in a 'normal' carrot cake. My own MOTHER, who despises anything coconut, had two helpings for dessert and took some home!! Don't knock it until you try it!! You'll never go back to that boring recipe again.

14 K CARROT CAKE
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350. Combine sugar and oil; add eggs and mix thoroughly Combine with dry ingredients..(it's not necessary to sift flour and so on.) Add pineapple, nuts and carrots. Bake @ 350 for 35-40 minutes in 3 8 inch round pans or 1 hour in 13*9 pan. After cake has cooled completely, cream together cream cheese, butter and vanilla then gradually add the powdered sugar. Frost cake and enjoy!
Tips:
- Choose the right carrots: Look for carrots that are bright orange and free of blemishes. Avoid carrots that are too thick or woody.
- Grate the carrots finely: This will help them blend into the cake batter more easily and create a smoother texture.
- Use fresh pineapple: Fresh pineapple adds a bright, tropical flavor to the cake. If you don't have fresh pineapple, you can use canned pineapple, but be sure to drain it well.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cake at the right temperature: The cake should be baked at 350°F (175°C) for about 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help prevent the frosting from melting.
