Can I make this without the instant pudding? I’d like to make some in the morning, but don’t have any.
For years I made Amish Friendship cakes, would share the start with friends who would ask for some with the recipe and a cake. Over the years stop making cakes and lost the recipe, so excite I found this site and recipe. My hubby it going to like this carrot cake with pineapple it’s sound wonderful.
My husband hardly eats sweets except for his birthday. I always make a carrot cake with pineapple in it and homemade cream cheese frosting. I always make a 9×13 pan and it seems like a waste. I can’t wait to try this one!!
I may make it for my coworkers too.
My mother used to make this all the time when I was younger . I am now on a mission to start making my own . She would just make the one kind . Boy-oh-boy am I going to have fun making the many different recipes . I’m so happy I found this website, Thanks bunches !
A friend gave me the starter and another gave me these recipes. I have made the carrot bread recipe also the cinnamon and chocolate. This recipe never fails me! And the starter is really fermented! Good eating and to share with all your friends!
I made these as muffins and they are so yummy! I cut back the sugar to 3/4 cup. Also good to mix the wets and drys separately first. With all the grated carrot, it can be hard to get everything mixed thoroughly.
OH MY GOODNESS. This is another recipe that has my name all over it!! Thanks for sharing. Can’t wait to try this tomorrow.
