I look forward to August because our family reunion means fun and great food, like this moist classic cake with the special flair it gets from pineapple. My great-aunt gave me this recipe, and I always make it for the reunion. -Victoria Teeter-Casey, Enterprise, Oregon

I just found this recipe and from now on this is the only one I will make. Even a friend who is an excellent carrot cake maker said this was better than hers.

Moist and chock full of goodies, this cake is delicious. It's easy to make too, especially if you are serving it directly from the pan.

After making this recipe I never ever made a boxed cake again. Back in 2003 I added a twist to the recipe and added jalepeno's to the mix and a lil tabasco sauce. And jazzed up the frosting with a dash of tequila and some lime and orange zest for a friends bridal shower and it was a hit.

I have been making this cake faithfully from the day I first saw the recipe way back in the mid-90's. My only change is I do not add raisins. I cannot say how many times I have been asked for the recipe or how many 'awesome' comments I have heard about it. Generally, I use a canned frosting in place of the real thing.

Took this to my sister's for Easter. Not only was it a big hit that day, but the next time the family came to my house they requested that I make it again. A sure sign of a winner. Moist and flavorful.

The best carrot cake I have ever tried. My husband hates carrot cake, and we got him to try this and liked it! Amazing does not describe this cake!

I have made this cake several times and it always is a hit. It is a very moist cake and keeps well so it can be made a day ahead if necessary.

Just love this recipe! I use to make it several times a year then lost the recipe. I just found it using this browser. Thank you so much!

This cake is awesome. I made it the first time for staff at school and I had people calling me at home to rave about it. People ask for me to make it all the time. One recommendation is to use parchment in the cake pan because it is so moist. I have doubled the recipe to make a half sheet size, made it once as a 9x13, and several times as a three layer 8" cake. People cannot get enough of this cake. Thanks for sharing this awesome recipe.
