Carrot Cake - My fiance LOVES carrot cake, and yesterday was his birthday so I decided to look for a carrot cake recipe. He was very specific that he wanted pineapple, coconut and lots of nuts in his carrot cake. I made this cake with a few modifications and he LOVES it! Says that it rivals his favorite carrot cake recipe. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking soda and salt.

Carrot Cake - In a large bowl, whisk together flour, salt, baking soda, and cinnamon. I like using all-purpose flour, but you can substitute some of the all-purpose flour for whole wheat or white whole wheat flour. For a gluten-free carrot cake, swap the flour for your favorite gluten-free flour blend. Baking soda helps the cake to rise. Salt, cinnamon, and vanilla extract make the cake taste amazing. Oil keeps the cake nice and moist — any neutral flavored oil will work. While some recipe historians trace the roots of carrot cake back to medieval times, we disagree. Thank you and good luck
