Anytime Easter gets closer I start thinking and thinking about the best carrot cake recipe! It is just so good I start dreaming about it. Haha.
You can make the best carrot cake with pineapple, isn’t that kind of surprising?! The flavors of the carrot cake mix perfectly with pineapple and it actually enhances the flavor.
Another thing I love about this recipe is that it is a homemade carrot cake in a 9×13 inch pan! No need to have fancy frosting skills, just keep it in the dish and frost it, and enjoy it!
Easter is never short of fun and tasty recipes. A few of my favorites to make are our homemade Reese’s eggs, no-bake chocolate bird egg nest cookies, and Easter egg basket cupcakes.
