I was a bit hesitant when I saw this recipe till I actually made the cake. Very easy instructions to follow and it was perfect! I loved it! its was rich and smelt beautiful : I added coconut shavings instead of the nuts it was great. Cream cheese frosting is the best for this recipe :

I do not own a scale - yet, so I did some researching and found that 3 cups of shredded carrot works well in this recipe. I highly recommend that you chop the nuts, mix dry ingredients, dice the pineapple, prepare the pans, shred the carrots, flour the nuts and raisins and crack the eggs before assembling the ingredients. It takes quite a few minutes to do those things. Otherwise, assembling the cake will be a long and tedious process. The cake batter was quite thick. So thick, I double-checked the ingredients list, thinking I might have left out a liquid. However, that is the way it is supposed to be and the cake came out moist and delicious. I ran out of unsalted butter. However, the salted butter tasted delicious in the frosting. I used walnut halves instead of pineapple as a garnish, since pineapple has a tendency to bleed and then dry out. My family was amazed, as this is the first time I have ever served them a layer cake. Very nice recipe.

This cake was absolutely perfect--by far, the best carrot cake I have ever had. I followed the recipe and added one thing: I put a layer of fresh diced pineapple on top of the frosting layer between the two cakes. When it came to decorating, I pressed coconut around the outside of the cake and I decorated around the top border with crushed walnuts instead of pineapple. A smash hit at our Father's Day bbq.

Very delicious. Did not use raisens, but thats a small differential.
Would defininitly make it again, although cake without the frosting, is a tad bland

Out of this world! MOist, delicious and definitely a hit ! There was not a crumb remaining. The cake was finished in a few minutes! There is no water used. All the moistness comes from the delicious pineapple! The raisins give it extra crunch and sweetness and the walnuts not only good for health give s nice bite too. The carrots are not even tasted. So no kid will even know its in there. Try it and you wont be disappointed.

This is the best carrot cake recipe ever! I used a small can of crushed pineapple well drained instead of fresh and it works well. I am always asked to bring this cake to family birthdays and any get-togethers. It is so moist and flavorful and easy to make. Friends that said they didn't care for carrot cake ate this and raved over it!!

The Best recipe. This is my first carrot cake + pineapple recipe and I just baked this in muffin pans. The muffins came out flavorful and moist. Thank you, Ina.

Absolutely amazing! Recently married, I wanted to impress my husband by making his favorite type of cake for his birthday. This recipe was extremely easy and a huge success! It has now started a new tradition since he requested that I make this cake every year for his birthday. You will have to try this out!
