Categories     Dessert

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 ¼ cups unsweetened applesauce (or oil, this is what my Nana used)
2 cups granulated sugar
3 eggs (room temperature)
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 cups grated carrots
1 cup shredded sweetened coconut
1 cup chopped nuts (optional)
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup Dole crushed pineapple (not drained! {use the pineapple in JUICE not syrup})
½ cup butter (softened)
8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 pound powdered sugar
top with toasted pecans or coconut if desired

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Combine #1 ingredients. Add #2 ingredients. Stir in #3 ingredients.
  • Pour into a lightly greased 9 x 13 , two 9-inch pans or three 8-inch pans. (The cake is very moist so cutting parchment for the bottom of your pans will ensure they don't stick. I prefer to use the non-stick baking spray that has the flour in it for easy cake removal.)
  • Bake for 35-40 minutes for the 9x13 and 9-inch pans and 25-30 minutes for the 8-inch pans. You're looking for an inserted toothpick to come out clean.
  • Let cakes cool for 10 minutes in the pan and then remove to a cooling rack and let cool completely.

CHEATER'S CARROT CAKE



Cheater's Carrot Cake image

A friend made this and I had to have the recipe. She didn't put the nuts in the cake but instead used them to sprinkle on top of the icing -- I prefer that because, if you don't like nuts, it's easier to pick them out.

CHEATER'S CARROT CAKE



Cheater's Carrot Cake image

Its cheating because I used a box of nut bread mix that I had on hand and wanted to use before it expired instead of making cake batter and because I just dusted the top with powdered sugar instead of making cream cheese frosting. Its still carrot cake and the teens didn't need forks to share it around the dungeon on D&D night.
