"This recipe was shared with our family by a family friend who lived in the next stairwell over while attending BYU. I love the fact that it's a moist carrot cake and full of flavor."

  1. This is one of the most moist carrot cakes I have made. My son went as far as to say it was the best he had ever tasted. Whilst I would not go that far this is extremely good. I took it to a family gathering and there was not one person who did not make some sort of great remark about it. Everything from the flavour, to how moist it was, to asking for the recipe. This has gone straight into my repeat recipes and my family have put in there requests for it to be made again soon. I also loved how quick and easy this was to make, with the only time consuming part being the grating of the carrots. Just a note, also to say, I drained the pineapple like Mischka had said in her review. Great recipe chef on the coast!!!
     
  2. I took this to work and we all really liked it. The pineapple is what attracted me to this carrot cake and it proved a point of difference to other carrot cakes. I didn't have the right sized tin and due to this my cake took 1 hour 45 minutes to bake. While the volume of the tins were the same my square tin made a thicker cake which is why the centre just would not cook. When I make it again I will either borrow a lamington pan (which I am guessing is the same size) or make 2 smaller bar cakes. Also, a note for others, I drained the pineapple as the mixture was wet enough without the juice. Made for Aussie Swap #18.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

<p>I live on the Oregon Coast with husband and four boys. I am able to stay at home with them and hold down the fort. I have many cookbooks which I enjoy searching through for our family favorites. I recently started working as a home health care worker for seniors with disabilities (which I absolutely love), I love to quilt, crochet, bake, read, garden, watch the rain (which happens quite frequently here) and play with my kids. <br /><br />I am passionate about canning, canning, canning. I will admit I like admiring all the hard work after the jars are placed on the shelves. hehee I am all for if I can make it myself I will. Yes...I am frugal. I also love to bake. Especially homemade bread. I will continue to do so until arthritis takes over my hands. Then I will use more of the mixer for the kneading part. <br />All recipes I post are ones I've made and are our famiy favorites. <br /><br />I love pretty flowers. These flowers grace our yard every year. I could watch them all day long and be perfectly content! <br /><a href=http://s260.photobucket.com/albums/ii24/zauggrc/?action=view?t=2008flowers008.jpg target=_blank><img src=http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii24/zauggrc/2008flowers008.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /></a></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&lt;img src=http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/picbzMWsf-1.jpg&gt; October 2010&nbsp;</p> <p><img src=http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/pichy1L7z-1.jpg alt= /> September 2010</p> <p>&nbsp;<img src=http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/pic53mWVE-1.jpg alt= />&nbsp; August 2010</p> <p><br /><img src=http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/pictSF7ey-1.jpg alt= />&nbsp; July 2010</p> <p><img src=http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/pick0GuXD-1.jpg alt= /> June 2010</p> <p><img src=http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/piczwaa5A-1.jpg alt= /> May 2010</p> <p><img src=http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/picW4Zmut-1.jpg alt= /></p> <p>April 2010</p> <p><img src=http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/picO0GVGF-2.jpg alt= />&nbsp;March 2010</p> <p><img src=http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/picOOqjRy-1.jpg alt= /> Feb 2010 <img src=http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/pick0GuXD-1.jpg alt= /> Jan 2010 <img src=http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/picCdyPjI-1.jpg alt= /> Dec 2009 <img src=http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/GrassTree-1-1.jpg alt= /> November 2009 <br /><img src=http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/MullaMulla-1-1.jpg alt= /> October 2009<img src=http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/Dryandra-1-1.jpg alt= /> September 2009 <br /><img src=http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/pic9ysNPn-1.jpg alt= /> June 2009 <br /><img src=http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/pic9ysNPn-1.jpg alt= /> May 2009 <br /><img src=http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Iwasadopted.jpg alt= /><img src=http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Participation.jpg alt= /> <br /><img src=http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/picbzMWsf-1.jpg alt= /> April 2009 <br /><img src=http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/pic9ysNPn-1.jpg alt= />March 2009 <img src=http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/pickxwB1q-1.jpg alt= /> February 2009 <br /><img src=http://i497.photobucket.com/albums/rr336/jess4freedom/Zaar%20banners/emergency_amtag.jpg alt= />January 2009 <br /><img src=http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/pukekoinapongatree-1.jpg alt= /> <br /><img src=http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/FringeLily-1-1.jpg alt= /> November 2008 <img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/PACfall08partic.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/IWasAdoptedfall08.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /> <br /><a href=http://s80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/?action=view?t=CookingSchoolHost1.jpg target=_blank><img src=http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/CookingSchoolHost1.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /> <img src=http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/Darwinia.jpg alt= /> <img src=http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/Cooking-Kangaroo-1-1.jpg alt= /> <br /><img src=http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/numbat-1.jpg alt= /> <br /><img src=http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/DesertRose.jpg alt= /> <img src=http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/590105/fringelilygrp10.jpg alt= /> <br /><img src=http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/GrassTree.jpg alt= /> <img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /> <br /></a><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/CV.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /> <br /><br /><a href=http://s7.photobucket.com/albums/y254/Missymop/?action=view?t=curriedcurrajongs.jpg target=_blank><img src=http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y254/Missymop/curriedcurrajongs.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /></a></p>
