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

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Add the ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt to the batter. Fold in the chopped walnuts if using.

Step 4

Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Once the cake has cooled, spread cream cheese frosting evenly over the top. Decorate with additional chopped walnuts or grated carrot if desired.

Step 8

Slice and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
