Best Carrot Cake
NeedTaste |I just made this yesterday and the icing is to die for It is inspired by a cake sold at Wegman's grocery store and an icing I saw on this site.. This carrot cake is moist and dense with fruity little gems in every bite. Adding crushed pineapple is a lovely addition to the carrot cake recipe. The frosting is silky smooth and tangy with just a hint of pineapple flavor. This is definitely not your grandma's carrot cake
