The Best Carrot Cake Recipe

My best carrot cake recipe is a tropical carrot cake style. It's simply the best. You could call it coconut carrot cake, walnut carrot cake, carrot pineapple cake but to anyone who has tried it, it is called the best ever carrot cake.

TESTIMONIALS!!!"Thank you! The cake turned out great. Wonderful website!

The Best Carrot Cake Recipe EVER!!!

Makes two 9 or 10 inch round cakes

Recipe times 5 for a wedding cake.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Ingredients See the video tutorial below. for this recipe.

• 3 cups sifted all-purpose flour
• 3 cups granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 Tablespoon baking soda
• 1 Tablespoon Cinnamon
• 1 1/2 cups corn oil
• 4 eggs
• 1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups chopped walnuts
• 1 1/2 cups shredded coconut
• 1 1/3 cups pureed cooked carrots
• 3/4 cups crushed and drained pineapple

Mix together all of the dry ingredients-Flour, baking soda, salt cinnamon and sugar.

Add oil eggs and vanilla, beat well, scraping the sides of the bowl a couple of times.

Fold in the carrots, pineapple, coconut, and walnuts.

Divide the batter evenly between the pans. Smooth the batter level, then spread it slightly from the center to the edges.

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or just until the tops are springy or a cake tester comes out clean.

Cool the cakes in their pans on a rack for 10 minutes. Then invert onto racks.

Pan Prep: I use either a spray oil or Crisco to grease the pans well, followed by a dusting of flour, followed by a layer of parchment paper or waxed paper that has been cut to fit the pan. That's it. No need to re-grease and flour the waxed paper as some cookbooks will ask you to do.

A Variation

Facebook follower and pastry chef Helga Moldanado came up with a couple of amazing variations for this recipe.

Hi, Lorelie

I just wanted to share with you the Father's Day Cake that I made. It was so delicious and everyone loves it. I made your best carrot cake recipe and the cheesecake recipe both in one. The cake was a rich, moist and delicious Carrot Cake Cheesecake. This cake is like a piece of heaven. It will be my go to recipe...

I decorated the cake with simple ruffles, because I wanted to have a simple and elegant cake. Hope everyone likes it..!!

Thank you so much for sharing your amazing recipes with us.

Helga Thank you so much. Wow! You took two of my favorite recipes and combined them into one yummy delicious confection. Genius!!!I have never tried this but I will now:-)

NOTE:To make a Thanksgiving Pumpkin cake Helga substituted pumpkin puree for the carrot and then added a small pinch of ginger and a 1/4 teaspoon of Allspice.
