Tips:

  • Use fresh pineapple and carrots. Fresh pineapple and carrots will give your cake the best flavor and texture. If you're using canned pineapple, be sure to drain it well and pat it dry before using.
  • Grate the carrots finely. This will help them distribute evenly throughout the cake and prevent them from becoming too chewy.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help incorporate air into the cake and make it light and tender.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help prevent the cake from curdling.
  • Fold in the flour and baking powder gently. Overmixing the batter will make the cake tough.
  • Bake the cake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting. This will help prevent the frosting from melting.
  • Enjoy!
