DAVID'S FAVORITE CARROT CAKE WITH PINEAPPLE CREAM CHEESE FROSTING
Steps:
- For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease two 9-inch cake pans with the butter.
- In a large bowl, add the granulated sugar, oil, brown sugar and eggs and mix together. Add the flour, carrots, coconut, walnuts, cinnamon, almond extract, baking powder, salt and pineapple and fold the ingredients together.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pans and place the pans on a baking sheet. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the centers comes out clean, about 40 minutes. Place the cakes on a cooling rack until completely cooled, about an hour.
- For the frosting: Meanwhile, in a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, add the cream cheese, confectioners' sugar, butter and pineapple juice. Mix until smooth and incorporated.
- To frost the cake: Carefully remove the cooled cakes from the pans. Using an offset spatula, place a dollop of the frosting on the cake stand and spread to create a sticky base. Place one layer on the frosting on the cake stand. Thickly frost the entire top of the cake and place the other layer atop the now frosted one. Beginning with the top of the new layer, frost generously. Place a large dollop of frosting on the side of the cake and spin the cake to evenly frost the sides. Garnish with the remaining walnuts.

CARROT CAKE WITH PINEAPPLE CREAM CHEESE FROSTING
This rich, moist cake has all the flavor, without all the fat and calories. Because it is so full of carrots, pineapple, and nuts it is similar to a fruit bread. For the best flavor, bake the cake one day ahead.

CARROT & PINEAPPLE BUNDT CAKE WITH CREAM CHEESE FROSTING
My SIL wanted a carrot cake for her birthday. I am not keen on layered cakes. They are too much of a pain to make. Bundt cakes have the less hassle and pretty presentation factor. My first attempt was in a more complex designed bundt pan and it was a flop! Use a simple design bundt pan, make sure to grease it up really well, and flour it.

BUTTERMILK-GLAZED PINEAPPLE-CARROT CAKE
This easy pineapple-carrot cake first ran in The New York Times Magazine in the spring of 1972, and it is one of the recipes that former Times columnist Joyce Purnick clipped and saved for decades in her recipe file. This is a snacking cake, mighty sweet, which benefits from a cup of coffee or another bitter drink to cut through the sugar. It might remind you of Jamaican black cake. Pour some rum on top if you so desire.

BANANA, CARROT & PINEAPPLE CAKE AKA SUNSHINE CAKE
This is a lovely iced cake (lighter version of a carrot cake) or have as a buttered loaf. I can kid myself that it is good for me because of the ingredients :) I saw this made on TV on the AWW Fresh cooking site (I think) and had to try it. It was a bit of a hit & miss with the ingredient amounts but I think I have them right as this is what I made mine with. I find I like to get all ingredients prepared first as then it is much easier to mix it altogether. Leave until cold before slicing)

Steps:
- 1. In a large mixing bowl, combine dry ingredients and mix well. Add oil, eggs and baby food and mix on low speed. Fold in pineapple, nuts and coconut.
- 2. Put into 2- 9 inch greased and floured pans. Bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes. Cool for 15 minutes on wire rack and then remove from pan. Cool completely before frosting.
- 3. FROSTING: In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add vanilla and powdered sugar and beat. Frost and sprinkle with additional chopped walnuts and coconut, if desired.
Tips:
- To achieve a moist and flavorful cake, use fresh pineapple and carrots. Grating them finely will ensure they distribute evenly throughout the batter.
- Use room temperature ingredients for better emulsification and a smoother batter. This will result in a more consistent cake texture.
- Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing develops the gluten in the flour, resulting in a tough and dense cake. Mix only until the ingredients are well combined.
- For a golden brown crust, brush the top of the cake with melted butter or milk before baking. This will also help prevent the cake from drying out.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting. This will prevent the frosting from melting and becoming runny.
Conclusion:
With its moist texture, vibrant color, and sweet-tart flavor, pineapple carrot cake is a delightful treat that is perfect for any occasion. By following these tips and the detailed recipe provided in the article, you can easily create a delicious and impressive pineapple carrot cake that will be enjoyed by all.
