Moist Carrot Cake

Triple Layer Carrot Cake

April 18, 2019 by Tamara Giebel Leave a Comment

Tired of dry carrot cake? This Triple Layer Carrot Cake is packed with moisture from crushed pineapple and coconut milk.

Breakfast, dessert..pretty much anytime of the day I could eat Triple Layer Carrot Cake , especially if it’s topped with cream cheese frosting. This carrot cake is the U L T I M A T E with crushed pineapple and coconut milk for added moisture. A combination of shredded coconut and carrots add to the texture, while still keeping the traditional carrot cake flavor.

Make It Your Own

  • Not into coconut? Just leave it out.
  • Like nuts and raisins? Exchange coconut for 1/2 cup walnuts and 1/2 cup raisins.
  • In a hurry? Opt for store bought whipped cream cheese frosting
