What a fantastic carrot cake recipe! I love it! I doubled the recipe (make sure you use 4 TBS of pineapple juice instead of 2. The converter doesn't make the change for you.) and made a huge batch of muffins. I wanted to make the cream cheese frosting but it doesn't say which cookbook it's in- evelyn/athens has several. So I just did a regular search and came up with a great one. These are so yummy!

I found a darn similar recipe in a Junior League cookbook. It is the most amazing carrot cake that you will EVER eat. My recipe calls for 1 1/4 c. vegetable oil, 1 c. less 2 T. whole wheat flour, 2 tsp. baking powder (in addition to the soda), 3 c. packed, finely shredded raw carrots, and 1/2 c. chopped nuts. My lemon cream cheese frosting is substanially different. Seriously, this cake is twice as good if you let it rest one day.
