Carrot and Pineapple Cake adds crushed pineapple for a cake or cupcakes that are moister than regular carrot cake. Like carrot cake, it is a rich, high calorie cake even without cream cheese frosting,

Like most cakes, Carrot and Pineapple Cake can be frozen allowing you to enjoy a slice or cupcake for a quick continental breakfast or take one to work or school.

This recipe yields:

1- 9″x13″ layer cake

2 – 9″ round or square cakes

16 large cupcakes

32 small cupcakes

Ingredients

  • 2 cups (270 g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons (10 ml) baking soda
  • 2 teaspoon (10 ml) cinnamon
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 cups (400 g) granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup (180 ml) vegetable oil
  • 3/4 cup (180 ml) buttermilk
  • 2 teaspoon (10 ml) pure vanilla extract
  • 3 cups (225 g) carrots, peeled and grated
  • 1 cup (200 g) crushed pineapple
  • 1/2 cup (40 g) toasted coconut (optional)

Method of Preparation

Step 1

Have all ingredients at room temperature.

Step 2

Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C).

Combine flour, soda, and cinnamon. In a large bowl or stand mixer bowl, beat eggs, sugar, oil, milk, and vanilla extract on medium speed until smooth, about 2 minutes.

Step 5

Bake cupcakes 20 to 25 minutes and layer cake 35 to 50 minutes or until wood tooth pick or cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 6

Cool cupcakes about 10 minutes and layer cakes about 15 minutes before removing to cool completely on wire rack.
