Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then add the vegetable oil, grated carrots, crushed pineapple, walnuts, and vanilla to the dry mixture. Stir until just combined.
- Grease two 9-inch round cake pans (or one 9×13 if preferred) and divide the batter evenly between the pans.
Baking
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let the cakes cool for about 10 minutes before removing them from the pans.
Glazing
- While the cakes are cooling, melt the butter in a small saucepan, then whisk in the powdered sugar, honey, vanilla, and salt. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until smooth.
Assembly
- Place one layer of the cake on a serving plate, drizzle half of the honey glaze on top, then place the second layer on top and drizzle the remaining glaze over it.
Serving
- Cut a slice, take a moment to admire your handiwork, and dig in!
Notes
For extra moisture, consider adding a few extra tablespoons of crushed pineapple. If you want a sweeter glaze, feel free to double the glaze recipe.
