Guest guest Posted May 7, 2007 Report Share Posted May 7, 2007 I think I make this cake once a week now. It's the best! I printed about 20 copies of the recipe since everyone loves it and always asks for the recipe. I took one to the de la Hoya fight on Saturday night and the guys were asking for the recipe, they took a detour from the beer.LOL Donna , Mari 84 <mari8484 wrote: > > This is one of the best carrot cakes I've > ever made. > > Pineapple Carrot Cake > > Cake: > 2 cups all-purpose flour > 1/2 teaspoons baking soda > 1 teaspoon baking powder > 1 teaspoon salt > 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon > 1 3/4 cups white sugar > 1 cup vegetable oil > 3 eggs > 1 teaspoon vanilla extract > 2 cups grated carrots > 1 cup flaked coconut > 1 cup chopped walnuts > 1 8 ounce can crushed pineapple, drained > > Frosting: > 1 8 ounce package cream cheese > 1/4 cup butter, softened > 2 cups confectioners' sugar few drops vanilla extract > or rum > > Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
