i think this recipe left out when to add the pineapple. i assume after the eggs????
or would it be better before?
Carrot Cake
It's been a while since we did any baking. My sister felt for a rich cake that would not make her feel guilty, really guilty but would still have some nutritional value. So she opted to make carrot cake, a home favourite. This cake came out so moist I just had to share it with you all. Everyone enjoyed it. And yes, the guilt is not there which could be a good thing for some. This cake also had a few surprises. I could still taste the walnuts and pieces of pineapple.... You know what? I think I'm going to have myself a piece of cake and a glass of ponche de creme to go (Yes! I still have some in my fridge!)... Enjoy carrot cake.
2 cups all purpose flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1 1/2 tsp. baking soda
2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
2 cups brown sugar
1 cup olive oil
4 eggs
8 oz. crushed pineapple
2 cups grated carrot
1/2 cup choppped nuts (walnuts, peanuts, and/ or almonds)
