- 3. In a medium size bowl, sift together flour, salt, cinnamon, baking soda,and pumpkin pie spices.
- 4. In a large mixing bowl, beat eggs until light and foamy, gradually add white sugar, oil and vanilla beat to incorporate each addition. With a spatula fold in pineapples. Add the sifted dry ingredients, stirring into the wet mixture until absorbed. Fold in the carrot mixture (carrots, brown sugar & raisins/craisins) and walnuts.
- 5. Pour your batter evenly into the prepared cake pans. Bake for 35-40 minutes until cake tests done by inserting a toothpick to see if it comes out clean.
- 6. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan. When completely cooled, frost with cream cheese frosting.

CARROT CAKE
Carrot Cake is one of those classic recipes that works so well for any celebration. The bright orange color offset by creamy white frosting makes Carrot Cake the star of any dessert tray. As the name implies, the shredded carrots give this easy Carrot Cake recipe its bright color, but the taste is subtle. Warm cinnamon and vanilla help create a swoon-worthy flavor as you bite into the moist, dense cake. One of the best parts of Carrot Cake is the famous sweet-and-tangy cream cheese frosting. Follow our homemade recipe, or save time, and substitute Betty Crocker™ Rich & Creamy Cream Cheese Frosting instead.
