I never thought this strange CARROT CAKE ingredient would be the best thing ever
CARROT CAKE RECIPE: cakesbymk.com/recipe/moist-ca...
SHOP: www.amazon.com/shop/cakesbymk
If you’re looking for an incredibly moist carrot cake that is EXPLODING with flavour, then this recipe IS IT! Soft, spiced cake layers topped with a tart cream cheese frosting, you won’t be able to get enough of this cake!
CREAM CHEESE FROSTING: cakesbymk.com/recipe/the-best...
HOMEMADE CAKE RELEASE: cakesbymk.com/recipe/homemade...
INGREDIENTS (I recommend using gram measurements):
Carrot Cake
- 2 cups (225 g) finely grated carrots - about 3 medium sized carrots
- 1 cup (190 g) crushed canned pineapple - with the liquid removed
- 2¼ cups (290 g) flour - regular all purpose (see note 1 on blog if you want to use cake flour)
- ¼ cup (30 g) cornstarch - also known as cornflour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 2½ tsp cinnamon - ground
- 1¾ tsp ginger - ground/powdered
- ¼ tsp cloves - ground
- ½ tsp nutmeg - ground
- 1½ cups (300 g) soft brown sugar - firmly packed (see note 2 on blog)
- 3 large eggs - room temperature
- 1 cup (200 g) unflavoured vegetable oil - I use canola
- 3 tsp vanilla essence/extract
- ½ cup (110 g) yoghurt - unsweetened, regular not Greek (low fat Greek yoghurt is okay). Room temperature.
- 1 cup (100 g) pecans or walnuts - coarsely chopped. I like to use both so I use 1/2 a cup of each.
Bake at 160 °C (320°F) with the fan on for 35 minutes. If your oven doesn't have a fan option, then you will need to increase the baking temperature to 175°C (347°F).
Cream Cheese Buttercream
- 1 cup (225 g) unsalted butter - room temp
- 4½ cups (570 g) icing/confectioners sugar - use more for a thicker frosting (see note 1 on blog)
- 1½ cups (335 g) cream cheese - cold, firm type (see note 2 on blog)
- 1½ tsp vanilla essence/extract
- 1½ tbsp lemon juice - must be fresh

This is brings back such good memories of my grandmother making pineapple carrot cake in the late 60's-early 70's. She'd push the lid down into the crushed pineapple can as she squeezed out every drop of juice into a glass, and then she'd wrestle the lid out and scrape the resulting pineapple puck out on top of the carrots I'd grated, and then she'd add a 1/2 cup each of coconut and black walnuts, which have a dizzying, almost boozy scent, and then fold that all into the batter... delicious. My sister and I also used to split [read: fight over] the leftover pineapple juice. 😂

All cakes made with oil are very moist, therefore the pineapple is unnecessary.
I am from South Africa and using crushed pineapple is what we have always used in carrot cake. Thank you for your recipe and for always sharing. Looks absolutely delicious

At 78, I find myself tiring more easily after being on my feet baking. This time it was well worth it! Your instructions are so easy to understand and every one of them worked. I couldn’t believe it when I flipped the pans and the cake layers came out as I’d hoped. The frosting was the easiest I’ve ever made; didn’t take long at all. Wish I could have sent a photo. After I frosted the cake and added the walnuts, I cut it to sell as two halves at a local bake sale tomorrow. Can’t wait to try another of your cakes!
I only trust your videos to make any type of cake or frosting! I tried many other KZreadrs and nothing compares to yours! Your cake recipes are always MOIST!!
In the US, we use pineapple all the time in this cake. I grew up only seeing it made that way. This version of a carrot cake is very close to the southern classic Hummingbird Cake. You should make it.
I made this cake yesterday, best carrot cake I have had, all the family loved it.
If you use cake strips, made from cloth and soaked in cold water, and wrap them around your cake pans your cakes will rise flat and you won't need to cut the domes off as you won't have any domes. I also like to add toasted coconut flakes to the batter as well of golden raisins with the walnuts make a great combination.

Love how you explain everything we should know like about the cold cream cheese and not over whipping. Everyone misses these small details out which then causes failures.
Well you’ve done it again! Another perfect recipe- approved by my entire extended family. I made this yesterday for a celebration and it was a hit all around. The cake is not too sweet and has a lovely spiced flavor and moist texture. The frosting is tangy and sweet and perfect for this cake. This one is a keeper. Thank you!

I've been using a recipe for many years now that includes pineapple with the juice (small can). It's my favorite! Tip...try adding some pineapple to the icing. It's amazing! I always get compliments. I would do this for a 13×9 cake, as it might be too loose for a decorated layer cake. Thanks for your wonderful cake recipes!

Pumpkin is also good to make the cake more of a salute to the autumn harvest! As for the frosting... I am not a fan of a lot of icing sugar, so might substitute whipped cream (stabilized with the cream cheese and a fraction of the icing sugar of course!).

Hi. I made this carrot cake and another carrot cake using a recipe that doesn't use crushed pineapple... Oh my! What a difference! This carrot cake is definitely a keeper ❤❤❤❤
I am from Canada and we always use crushed pineapple in carrot cake. ❤
Thank you so much for this one! I followed the recipe to the tee except for the pineapple as I had to use up some frozen carrots and was too lazy to go buy the tinned pineapple! (Only thing is I have really large baking dishes as im a new Baker and don't know the sizes and proportions 😓 i realized all my baking glassware is 9 to 10 inches so they are really large.) But cut to the chase the cake was super soft, moist, porous and so flavourful that we finished half the cake before it cooled. Only thing is the middle sunk and was a bit pasty I think I'm still not familiar with the dynamics of heat settings and timing as I use a convection oven
