<\/p>\nMy secret ingredient to make the Best Carrot Cake<\/strong> is adding a can of crushed pineapple, which makes it SO moist with less added sugar.<\/p>\n<\/noscript>cBest Carrot Cake Recipe<\/h2>\nI was recently asked if carrots are really in carrot cake \u2013 The answer is yes! Hence, the name! This cake also has coconut flakes and pineapple giving it such great flavor, texture and moisture with no butter. This healthier dessert is the best carrot cake for your Easter celebrations or any time of the year.

You can use regular cream cheese, but I wouldn\u2019t substitute fat-free. Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature, so it blends well.<\/li>\nPowdered Sugar: <\/strong>Beat in a quarter cup of powdered sugar.<\/li>\nVanilla: <\/strong>A teaspoon of vanilla extract improves the flavor.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nHow to Make Carrot Cake<\/h2>\n\nDry Ingredients: <\/strong>Whisk both flours, sugar, coconut, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in a large mixing bowl.<\/li>\nWet Ingredients:<\/strong> Combine the oil, eggs, and vanilla in a medium bowl and then mix in the carrots and pineapple.<\/li>\nFold the wet ingredients into the flour mixture. <\/strong>The cake batter will be stiff and dry, but keep stirring it, and it will all come together, no need to use a mixer but you can if you prefer. Fold in a quarter cup of walnuts.<\/li>\nBake: <\/strong>Spoon the batter into an 8\u201d x 3\u201d cake pan coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350\u00b0F for 40 to 50 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean, and the cake pulls away from the pan\u2019s sides. Let it cool completed on a wire rack.<\/li>\nCream Cheese Frosting: <\/strong>Beat the room-temp cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Spread the frosting over the top of the cooled cake and garnish with the remaining nuts.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\nWhat is the best type of pan to bake a cake?<\/h2>\nI baked this carrot cake in an 8-inch round cake pan, which I love because it\u2019s three inches deep. Other cake pans you can use,\u00a0 a Bundt cake pan, a 9-inch springform pan, or a 13 x 9-inch pan. Just know the baking time will vary, so keep an eye on it and test it with a toothpick.<\/p>\nMost carrot cake recipes are lighter because they have much smaller serving sizes, so I cut the cake into 16 equal slices. If you use a different pan, the serving size might be slightly different.<\/p>\nShould carrot cake with cream cheese frosting be refrigerated?<\/h2>\nCarrot cake will usually keep on the counter in a cool place for one to two days if un-frosted. If the cake has icing, refrigerate it right away, and it should last for five to six days.<\/p>\nHow to Freeze Carrot Cake<\/h2>\nCarrot cake with cream cheese frosting is ideal for freezing. I like to freeze it sliced so I can pull out a piece or two as needed. However, you can certainly freeze the entire cake frosted. To thaw, put it in the refrigerator the night before.<\/p>\nVariations<\/h2>\n\nFlour: <\/strong>You can use all purpose flour or sub white whole wheat flour for the wheat flour.<\/li>\nGluten-Free Carrot Cake: <\/strong>I would try swapping all the flour for the same quantity of gluten-free Cup4Cup flour.<\/li>\nCoconut Swap: <\/strong>Substituting the sweetened coconut for unsweetened may make the cake less sweet. I haven\u2019t tested it, so you may need more sugar depending on your tastes.<\/li>\nNot a coconut fan? <\/strong>Sub it with the same amount of raisins or dried currants.<\/li>\nAllergic to pineapple? <\/strong>Try swapping the pineapple with grated zucchini and adding more sugar or using applesauce instead. I haven\u2019t tested these changes, but if you do, let me know in the comments how it worked.<\/li>\nNo walnuts? <\/strong>Substitute them with the same amount of pecans or macadamia nuts.<\/li>\nFrosting: <\/strong>If you\u2019re dairy-free or want to reduce the calories\/sugar, skip the icing.<\/li>\nCarrot Cake Cupcakes: <\/strong>If you want to make cupcakes, bake them at 350\u00b0F for 20 to 25 minutes. Check them with a toothpick to ensure they\u2019re done.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/p>\n<\/noscript><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/noscript><\/p>\nMore Cake Recipes You\u2019ll Love<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\nPrep: <\/span>20<\/span> mins<\/span><\/span><\/p>\nCook: <\/span>45<\/span> mins<\/span><\/span><\/p>\nTotal: <\/span>1<\/span> hr<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\nYield: <\/span>16<\/span> servings<\/span><\/span><\/p>\nServing Size: <\/span>1<\/span> slice<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\nFor the Cream Cheese Frosting:<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\nPreheat oven to 350F.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n\nIn a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, coconut, baking soda, salt, and spices; stir well with a whisk.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n\nIn a medium bowl, combine oil, eggs, and vanilla; stir well.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n\nAdd grated carrots and pineapple; mix well.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n\nFold wet ingredients with the dry ingredients, batter will be stiff and dry but keep folding it and it will all come together.

You can use regular cream cheese, but I wouldn\u2019t substitute fat-free. Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature, so it blends well.<\/li>\nPowdered Sugar: <\/strong>Beat in a quarter cup of powdered sugar.<\/li>\nVanilla: <\/strong>A teaspoon of vanilla extract improves the flavor.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nHow to Make Carrot Cake<\/h2>\n\nDry Ingredients: <\/strong>Whisk both flours, sugar, coconut, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in a large mixing bowl.<\/li>\nWet Ingredients:<\/strong> Combine the oil, eggs, and vanilla in a medium bowl and then mix in the carrots and pineapple.<\/li>\nFold the wet ingredients into the flour mixture. <\/strong>The cake batter will be stiff and dry, but keep stirring it, and it will all come together, no need to use a mixer but you can if you prefer. Fold in a quarter cup of walnuts.<\/li>\nBake: <\/strong>Spoon the batter into an 8\u201d x 3\u201d cake pan coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350\u00b0F for 40 to 50 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean, and the cake pulls away from the pan\u2019s sides. Let it cool completed on a wire rack.<\/li>\nCream Cheese Frosting: <\/strong>Beat the room-temp cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Spread the frosting over the top of the cooled cake and garnish with the remaining nuts.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\nWhat is the best type of pan to bake a cake?<\/h2>\nI baked this carrot cake in an 8-inch round cake pan, which I love because it\u2019s three inches deep. Other cake pans you can use,\u00a0 a Bundt cake pan, a 9-inch springform pan, or a 13 x 9-inch pan. Just know the baking time will vary, so keep an eye on it and test it with a toothpick.<\/p>\nMost carrot cake recipes are lighter because they have much smaller serving sizes, so I cut the cake into 16 equal slices. If you use a different pan, the serving size might be slightly different.<\/p>\nShould carrot cake with cream cheese frosting be refrigerated?<\/h2>\nCarrot cake will usually keep on the counter in a cool place for one to two days if un-frosted. If the cake has icing, refrigerate it right away, and it should last for five to six days.<\/p>\nHow to Freeze Carrot Cake<\/h2>\nCarrot cake with cream cheese frosting is ideal for freezing. I like to freeze it sliced so I can pull out a piece or two as needed. However, you can certainly freeze the entire cake frosted. To thaw, put it in the refrigerator the night before.<\/p>\nVariations<\/h2>\n\nFlour: <\/strong>You can use all purpose flour or sub white whole wheat flour for the wheat flour.<\/li>\nGluten-Free Carrot Cake: <\/strong>I would try swapping all the flour for the same quantity of gluten-free Cup4Cup flour.<\/li>\nCoconut Swap: <\/strong>Substituting the sweetened coconut for unsweetened may make the cake less sweet. I haven\u2019t tested it, so you may need more sugar depending on your tastes.<\/li>\nNot a coconut fan? <\/strong>Sub it with the same amount of raisins or dried currants.<\/li>\nAllergic to pineapple? <\/strong>Try swapping the pineapple with grated zucchini and adding more sugar or using applesauce instead. I haven\u2019t tested these changes, but if you do, let me know in the comments how it worked.<\/li>\nNo walnuts? <\/strong>Substitute them with the same amount of pecans or macadamia nuts.<\/li>\nFrosting: <\/strong>If you\u2019re dairy-free or want to reduce the calories\/sugar, skip the icing.<\/li>\nCarrot Cake Cupcakes: <\/strong>If you want to make cupcakes, bake them at 350\u00b0F for 20 to 25 minutes. Check them with a toothpick to ensure they\u2019re done.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/p>\n<\/noscript><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/noscript><\/p>\nMore Cake Recipes You\u2019ll Love<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\nPrep: <\/span>20<\/span> mins<\/span><\/span><\/p>\nCook: <\/span>45<\/span> mins<\/span><\/span><\/p>\nTotal: <\/span>1<\/span> hr<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\nYield: <\/span>16<\/span> servings<\/span><\/span><\/p>\nServing Size: <\/span>1<\/span> slice<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\nFor the Cream Cheese Frosting:<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\nPreheat oven to 350F.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n\nIn a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, coconut, baking soda, salt, and spices; stir well with a whisk.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n\nIn a medium bowl, combine oil, eggs, and vanilla; stir well.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n\nAdd grated carrots and pineapple; mix well.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n\nFold wet ingredients with the dry ingredients, batter will be stiff and dry but keep folding it and it will all come together.
