DAVID'S FAVORITE CARROT CAKE WITH PINEAPPLE CREAM CHEESE FROSTING



David's Favorite Carrot Cake with Pineapple Cream Cheese Frosting image

Provided by Nancy Fuller

Categories     dessert

Time 2h

Yield 8 servings

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.

I have been making this since my son, Jeremy was small, twenty-five years now. He did bring the cake out of the refrigerator one time, the cake being "top heavy" landed upside down on the floor. Now he knows when mom say's she is making "pineapple upside down cake", he knows what I'm making! I also made it for my Dad's 4th of July birthday party, everyone loved it!

I haven't made this particular recipe yet, but I have had this cake before and it's super moist and delicious...needless to say I look forward to trying this recipe out soon! I got this from Food Network's The Barefoot Contessa. **UPDATE** I made the cake, and it is DEElicious, however I had way too much frosting, and the calories were outrageous. I have amended the recipe to use only half the amount of frosting. If you'd like the original amount, just double it.

PINEAPPLE CREAM CHEESE FROSTING



Pineapple Cream Cheese Frosting image

This is a great 'shower' cake...baby showers, bridal showers, etc. It has kind of a pina colada taste, especially if you add coconut on top...fresh and fruity, very good in spring & summer. I usually use it over a yellow cake, but have also used white...would probably be good on a coconut cake, too. Be creative! :o)
