The ingredients are:
  • 1(8 ounce) can unsweetened crushed pineapple
  • 2 cups finely shredded carrots
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 cup oil (vegetable or canola oil --- cut some fat by using 1/2 cup applesauce in place of 1/2 cup oil)
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 13 x 9-inch baking pan

  • Step 2: Drain pineapple, reserving 2 tablespoons juice (discard remaining juice or save for another use). In a large bowl, beat the carrots, eggs, vanilla, both sugars, oil, pineapple and reserved juice until well blended. In a small bowl combine the flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt; using a wooden spoon gradually mix into pineapple mixture until blended (DO NOT use an electic mixer to mix in the flour mixture or your cake will be soft and mushy, treat as you would mixing a muffin batter). Stir in walnuts.

  • Step 3: Transfer to baking dish. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack. Frost with desired amount of cream cheese frosting.
