Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 22

8 ounces (One 8-ounce can) crushed pineapple (drained)
4 large eggs
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup vegetable or canola oil
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/8 th tsp ground cloves
1 cup chopped pecans (may substitute walnuts)
2 cups shredded carrots
If you want raisins, add 3/4 - 1 cup of raisins, optional
FOR THE FROSTING:
8 ounces (One 8-ounce pkg) cream cheese (softened)
1/4 cup butter (softened)
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 Tbsp orange juice
1/4 cup heavy cream
3 - 3½ cups powdered sugar
Additional chopped pecans for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Liberally grease a 9x13" rectangular baking pan with cooking spray and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the pineapple and eggs until combined. Whisk in the sugars, oil, and vanilla, followed by the dry ingredients until a cohesive batter comes together. Fold in the pecans, carrots, and raisins (if using) until combined.
  • Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan and bake for approximately 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean or with moist, not wet, crumbs. Cool completely.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the cream cheese, butter, and vanilla until combined and fluffy, about 1 minute. Beat in the orange juice and gradually add in the powdered sugar, about one cup at a time, until mixture is light and fluffy, streaming in the heavy cream as needed.
  • Spread the frosting evenly over the cake and sprinkle with remaining chopped pecans, if using. Store covered in the fridge.

BEST EVER YUMMY CARROT CAKE!!!! (WITH CREAM CHEESE FROSTING)



Best Ever Yummy Carrot Cake!!!! (With Cream Cheese Frosting) image

This is the best, most moist & flavorful carrot cake that I have ever eaten and it is definitely something everyone who tries it will remember! As with most of my recipes, they are bits & pieces from different places all put together to achieve (in my opinion) the perfect recipe. I make this as a 12", 4-layer cake to sell at my restaurant. You can easily half this recipe to make an 8", 3-layer cake or a regular 9 x 13 pan.

Time 50m

Yield 1 12, 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 22

4 cups all-purpose flour
3 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons baking soda
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
2 cups vegetable oil
6 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 cups shredded carrots
1 1/2 cups sweetened coconut
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 cup crushed pineapple, drained (or 8oz can)
2 cups raisins
20 ounces cream cheese
5/8 cup butter, softened
7 1/2 cups powdered sugar
3 teaspoons vanilla extract (use the clear type if you want really white frosting)
red food coloring
yellow food coloring
green food coloring
powdered sugar, as needed to thicken the frosting

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (If using a commercial convection oven, set it for 325 degrees on high fan).
  • FOR THE CAKE:.
  • Grease & flour four 12" round pans.
  • Whisk first six ingredients in a large bowl until combined(flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt & cinnamon).
  • In a separate smaller bowl, lightly beat oil, eggs & vanilla until combined.
  • Add the wet mixture to the dry mixture until just combined.
  • Carefully stir in the carrots, coconut, walnuts, pineapple & raisins until everything is evenly dispersed.
  • Pour the batter into your greased & floured pans.
  • Bake in the oven, turning half way through, until a toothpick comes out clean. When you lightly push on the cake it should spring back if it is done. (It takes about 25-30 minutes in a convection oven, but will probably take longer in a household oven).
  • Cool the cake on cooling racks until it is room temperature. I cool mine in the fridge to speed things up -- but either way will work.
  • FOR THE CREAM CHEESE FROSTING:.
  • While the cake is baking & cooling you can make your frosting.
  • Beat cream cheese & softened butter in your mixer until it is light & fluffy.
  • With your mixer on low, slowly add the powdered sugar a little at a time so it doesn't fly out everywhere.
  • Continue beating until the frosting is smooth.
  • Add the vanilla to the frosting & continue to mix until combined.
  • This frosting should be a thick fluffy consistency so you can spread it easily but it won't run.
  • If you want a thinner frosting add less powdered sugar, if you want it thicker add more powdered sugar.
  • TO ASSEMBLE CAKE:.
  • When the cakes are cool, put a dollop of frosting on each one & spread around so there is an evenly covered layer (about 1/4" - 1/2" thick).
  • If you put too much frosting it will squish out from the weight of the stacked cakes.
  • Spread the remainder of the frosting on the sides of the cake.
  • FOR THE CARROT DECORATIONS:.
  • Take two small bowls of frosting.
  • To one add green food coloring until you get a nice "carrot stem green" color.
  • To the other bowl add red + yellow food coloring to make a nice "carrot orange" color.
  • Add extra powdered sugar to each to make the frosting very thick. Then use a pastry bag to pipe little carrots with green stems on the top of the cake.
  • You can use a zip-top bag with a tiny hole cut in the corner to pipe out the frosting carrots if you don't have a pastry bag.
