Pineapple Carrot Cake

I grew up loving carrot cake except for one thing. RAISINS!! I hate those things. They ruin every good dessert. Cookies, Cake or Pies. But this recipe doesnt have them!  I even got my wife try it and she loved it, (shes not a big carrot cake person), so give this one a shot. Really moist!!

Ingredients

  • 3 cups shredded carrots
  • 1 can (20 ounces) crushed pineapple, well-drained
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1 cup canola oil
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • FROSTING:
  • 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup butter, softened
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3-3/4 cups confectioners' sugar

Directions









  • In a large bowl, beat the first five ingredients until well blended. In another bowl, mix the flour, baking soda and cinnamon; gradually beat into carrot mixture.
  • Transfer to a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan. Bake at 350° for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool completely in pan on a wire rack.
  • For frosting, in a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, butter and vanilla until blended. Gradually beat in confectioners' sugar until smooth. Spread over cake. Cover and refrigerate leftovers.
