CARROT CAKE OATMEAL WHOOPIE PIES, WITH PINEAPPLE CREAM CHEESE FILLING RECIPE - (4.4/5)



Carrot Cake Oatmeal Whoopie Pies, With Pineapple Cream Cheese filling Recipe - (4.4/5) image

Provided by Foodiewife

Number Of Ingredients 24

For the whoopies pies:
1-1/2 cups brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1-1/2 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature (3/4 cup)
2 large eggs, room temperature
1 tsp vanilla extract
2-1/2 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp coarse salt (or 1/2 tsp table salt)
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1/2 tsp ground ginger
2 cups quick cooking oats
1-1/2 cups grated carrots (about 2 carrots)**
1-1/4 cups golden raisins (optional)
NOTE: **You could leave out the carrots, and these would simply be Oatmeal Whoopie Pies
For the filling:
3 cups confectioners' sugar
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
4 oz. cream cheese
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3 Tablespoons pineapple jam (optional)
1/4 sweetened coconut, toasted at 325F for about 10 minutes and cooled (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or a Silpat baking mat. (I used a Norpro Muffin Top baking pan, but this isn't mandatory.) In the bowl of a stand mixer, with the paddle attachment (or a hand held mixer), combine the sugars and butter. Beat until fluffy--about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the vanilla and eggs, and beat until well combined. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger and whisk together. Slowly add the flour mixture to the butter mixture; mix on low speed until just combined. Stir in the oats, carrots and raisins with a spatula. Using a medium ice cream scoop, scoop dough onto the prepared sheets, leaving at least 2 inches between cookies. Gently press the cookies until flat. Bake between 12-15 minutes, turning halfway through to ensure even baking. They should be lightly golden brown around the edges. NOTE: These make 8 HUGE whoopie pies, so user a smaller scoop to make smaller whoopie pies. Reduce the baking time between 10-12 minutes each. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. To make the frosting: In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter until smooth. Add cream cheese and beat until well combined. Add confectioners' sugar and vanilla, beat just until smooth. (Filling can be made up to a day in advance. Cover and refrigerate; let stand at room temperature to soften before using.) To assemble the whoopie pies, turn one cookie with the baked bottom facing up. Scoop some filling, and gently press another cookie on top. Wrap in plastic wrap. Keep whoopie pies refrigerated, and bring to room temperature about 30 minutes before eating. Stores for up to 5 days, refrigerated.

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 tablespoons butter
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 cup canola oil
1 cup light brown sugar
4 large eggs, lightly beaten
3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups shredded carrots
1 1/2 cups shredded coconut
1 cup chopped walnuts, plus more for garnish
3 tablespoons ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon almond extract
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
One 15-ounce can pineapple rings, drained (reserve the liquid for the frosting) and chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
3 cups confectioners' sugar
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/4 cup reserved pineapple juice from the canned pineapple

Steps:

  • For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease two 9-inch cake pans with the butter.
  • In a large bowl, add the granulated sugar, oil, brown sugar and eggs and mix together. Add the flour, carrots, coconut, walnuts, cinnamon, almond extract, baking powder, salt and pineapple and fold the ingredients together.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pans and place the pans on a baking sheet. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the centers comes out clean, about 40 minutes. Place the cakes on a cooling rack until completely cooled, about an hour.
  • For the frosting: Meanwhile, in a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, add the cream cheese, confectioners' sugar, butter and pineapple juice. Mix until smooth and incorporated.
  • To frost the cake: Carefully remove the cooled cakes from the pans. Using an offset spatula, place a dollop of the frosting on the cake stand and spread to create a sticky base. Place one layer on the frosting on the cake stand. Thickly frost the entire top of the cake and place the other layer atop the now frosted one. Beginning with the top of the new layer, frost generously. Place a large dollop of frosting on the side of the cake and spin the cake to evenly frost the sides. Garnish with the remaining walnuts.

MISS BROWN'S PINEAPPLE CARROT CAKE WITH CREAM CHEESE FROSTING



Miss Brown's Pineapple Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting image

Provided by Kardea Brown

Categories     dessert

Time 2h15m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon allspice
1 cup vegetable oil
1 cup crushed canned pineapple
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 large eggs
3 cups grated carrots (preferably grated by hand)
1 cup golden raisins
3/4 cup chopped or whole walnuts
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
12 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
5 cups confectioners' sugar
1 cup walnuts

Steps:

  • For the carrot cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease two 9- by 13-inch rimmed baking sheets and line each baking sheet with parchment paper (see Cook's Note).
  • Whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, salt, ginger and allspice in a large bowl. In a separate large bowl, whisk together the oil, pineapple, brown sugar, granulated sugar and vanilla. Beat in the eggs one at a time until well combined. Mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until the batter is smooth. Set aside 2 tablespoons of the grated carrots for garnish and fold in the remaining carrots, raisins and walnuts into the cake batter.
  • Divide the batter between the prepared baking sheets. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of each cake comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool for 30 minutes, then transfer to cooling racks, taking the parchment off the base of each cake as you go. Allow the cakes cool completely before frosting.
  • For the cream cheese frosting: While the cake is baking, chill the bowl and paddle attachment for your stand mixer. Once the cake is cooled, beat together the cream cheese and butter until very smooth in the bowl of a stand mixer. Add the vanilla, then slowly add the confectioners' sugar, about 1 cup at a time. The consistency should be fairly thick yet easy to spread. If it becomes too loose, add more powdered sugar (a little at a time).
  • Transfer the frosting into a piping bag or a resealable plastic bag. Pipe the frosting evenly over the top of one of the cake layers. Top with the other cake layer. (If you have the time, pop the cake into the freezer here for a few minutes to make it easier to cut). Carefully cut the layered cake into 2-inch squares, so that you have individual, square, naked cakes. Pipe a little more frosting on top and decorate with the reserved grated carrots and walnuts.

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.

BUTTERMILK-GLAZED PINEAPPLE-CARROT CAKE



Buttermilk-Glazed Pineapple-Carrot Cake image

This easy pineapple-carrot cake first ran in The New York Times Magazine in the spring of 1972, and it is one of the recipes that former Times columnist Joyce Purnick clipped and saved for decades in her recipe file. This is a snacking cake, mighty sweet, which benefits from a cup of coffee or another bitter drink to cut through the sugar. It might remind you of Jamaican black cake. Pour some rum on top if you so desire.

  • About 15 minutes before the cake is done, make the glaze. Combine all the ingredients except the vanilla in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring, over medium heat and boil gently five minutes.
  • Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla.
  • Take the cake out of the oven and immediately prick it all over with a fork and slowly pour the buttermilk glaze over the top. Cool in pan. Cut into slices.
