Absolutely moist and delicious - even days later! I substituted honey for the sugar in this recipe and I added some toasted shredded coconut and walnuts on top of the cream cheese. I was a little skeptical of the pineapple but it really adds a nice brightness. Can't wait to make it (and eat it) again.
Amazingly moist and delicious carrot cake! I'd never guess this was a healthy version of anything. I don't like cake & I loved this... Yes my batter was runny but instead of having to take it out 10 minutes early & burning in my oven like things usually do this stayed in the full time & was definitely firm enough at the end of the 40ish minutes. It was just super moist. Pros: My kids loved it & begged for more. Cons: I had some trouble getting the icing the right consistency for spreading but it was delicious.
Can I make this recipe using two 8" round cake pans?
Very good. I made a bundt cake (greased and floured the pan very well) and added extra milk to the frosting to make a glaze. For the cake I used 1-1/2 cups of cake flour and 3/4 cup of white whole wheat flour. I decreased the sugar to 1 cup (and half of that was Stevia). You have to lay the CRUSHED pineapple on a triple layer of paper towels to drain it well (otherwise the cake will get gummy). And I used light olive oil instead of canola. All in all it was a really good cake and I will make it again.
No frosting needed;. A friend suggested sprinkling powder sugar on top instead of the frosting. Most of my guest removed the frosting they did not like it either. I am not a big fan of cream cheese. Over all the cake was good. I will make it again but will add the raisons and no frosting. Pros: I wish I would have added the raisons as suggested by another person. Cons: Did not care for the frosting;
Great Cake Easy to Make I followed the advice of others and added an extra 1/2 cup of flour. It was delicious and perfectly moist. I made the cake a day in advance. Pros: Flavorful filling easy to make Cons: I adjusted the frosting to suit my taste by adding a little milk and more powdered sugar
I made the cake and frosting just as in the recipe and loved the flavor of both. The cake was moist but I like it that way. The one thing I did wrong was I didn't grease the pan enough and the cake stuck coming out breaking into different pieces. That was sad but I pushed the pieces together and frosted them anyway and it was all delicious. I am definitely making this one again. A delicious cake great for breakfast and it feels healthy because it has the pineapple and carrot in it.
My go-to recipe I have made this cake many times. It is always great! I love the pineapple and I sometimes add raisins. When someone wants me to bring carrot cake to a gathering this is my go-to recipe. Pros: Moist delicious Cons: None
I'm surprised so many people liked this cake. I thought the consistency was spongy and not very good. I would not make this again.
