- 3 large eggs
- 0.5 cups vegetable oil
- 1 can (8 oz) crushed pineapple (with juice)
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 0.5 cups chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
- 1 container (16 oz) cream cheese frosting
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan or spray with nonstick baking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the spice cake mix, eggs, and vegetable oil. Mix until well blended.
Add the crushed pineapple (including its juice) and shredded carrots to the batter. Stir until thoroughly combined.
If using, gently fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans for added texture.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Once cooled, generously spread the cream cheese frosting over the top of the cake using a spatula or offset knife.
Slice into squares or rectangles and serve. Enjoy your Easy Cake Mix Carrot Pineapple Cake!
