CARROT & PINEAPPLE BUNDT CAKE WITH CREAM CHEESE FROSTING



Carrot & Pineapple Bundt Cake With Cream Cheese Frosting image

My SIL wanted a carrot cake for her birthday. I am not keen on layered cakes. They are too much of a pain to make. Bundt cakes have the less hassle and pretty presentation factor. My first attempt was in a more complex designed bundt pan and it was a flop! Use a simple design bundt pan, make sure to grease it up really well, and flour it.
