PINEAPPLE PECAN CARROT CAKE WITH VANILLA BUTTERCREAM FROSTING
My favorite version of carrot cake featuring a moist spice cake base with sweet golden pineapple and crunchy pecans. I love to make an Italian buttercream frosting for this cake instead of the traditional cream cheese frosting.

Steps:
- Grease and flour two 8 or 9 inch cake pans.
- Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the sugar, eggs and vanilla and oil until light and fluffy.
- Stir in the grated carrots, pineapple and nuts.
- Fold in the dry ingredients by hand.
- Stir only until the dry ingredients are incorporated into the batter. Do not over mix.
- Pour into prepared pans and bake for 30-35 minutes at 350 degrees F or until a wooden toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
- Combine the sugar and water in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Continue to
- boil over medium heat without stirring until the mixture reaches 240 degrees on
- a candy thermometer.
- Meanwhile beat the egg whites, cream of tartar and vanilla extract together to stiff peaks with the whisk attachment on your mixer..
- Slowly pour in the sugar syrup in a thin stream, hitting the side of the bowl and
- not the beaters.
- Continue beating the frosting for 10-15 minutes until the
- meringue is completely cool.
- When completely cool, slowly begin to add a few tablespoons of the butter at a time, beating constantly.
- Beat until smooth after each addition. When properly done, the texture of this frosting should resemble whipped cream. If storing in the fridge, you will want to bring the cake out to come up to room temperature before serving.

Steps:
- For the carrot cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease two 9- by 13-inch rimmed baking sheets and line each baking sheet with parchment paper (see Cook's Note).
- Whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, salt, ginger and allspice in a large bowl. In a separate large bowl, whisk together the oil, pineapple, brown sugar, granulated sugar and vanilla. Beat in the eggs one at a time until well combined. Mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until the batter is smooth. Set aside 2 tablespoons of the grated carrots for garnish and fold in the remaining carrots, raisins and walnuts into the cake batter.
- Divide the batter between the prepared baking sheets. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of each cake comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool for 30 minutes, then transfer to cooling racks, taking the parchment off the base of each cake as you go. Allow the cakes cool completely before frosting.
- For the cream cheese frosting: While the cake is baking, chill the bowl and paddle attachment for your stand mixer. Once the cake is cooled, beat together the cream cheese and butter until very smooth in the bowl of a stand mixer. Add the vanilla, then slowly add the confectioners' sugar, about 1 cup at a time. The consistency should be fairly thick yet easy to spread. If it becomes too loose, add more powdered sugar (a little at a time).
- Transfer the frosting into a piping bag or a resealable plastic bag. Pipe the frosting evenly over the top of one of the cake layers. Top with the other cake layer. (If you have the time, pop the cake into the freezer here for a few minutes to make it easier to cut). Carefully cut the layered cake into 2-inch squares, so that you have individual, square, naked cakes. Pipe a little more frosting on top and decorate with the reserved grated carrots and walnuts.
PINEAPPLE CARROT CAKE
This moist cake with cream cheese frosting is the best I've ever eaten. It's so simple, too, because it uses two jars of baby food instead of fresh carrots that need to be grated. -Jeanette McKenna, Vero Beach, Florida

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.
