Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 box Jiffy yellow cake mix
- 2 cups Grated carrots
- 0.5 cups Vegetable oil
- 3 Eggs
- 1 can Crushed pineapple (with juice)
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cups Chopped walnuts (optional)
- 1 container Cream cheese frosting
- 1 Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking pan with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Jiffy yellow cake mix, grated carrots, vegetable oil, eggs, and the canned crushed pineapple (do not drain the juice). Mix until well combined.
Add the ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt to the batter. Fold in the chopped walnuts if using.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the cake has cooled, spread cream cheese frosting evenly over the top. Decorate with additional chopped walnuts or grated carrot if desired.
Slice and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
