Carrot Cake

I have changed this adopted recipe quite a bit. Originally, it called for all whole wheat flour, and that sounded really heavy for the cake. I added nutmeg and cloves, and when the batter was extremely thick, I added the can of crushed pineapple, because I like pineapple in cheesecake. I have also added a frosting. My DIL, who loves carrot cake, loved this cake.

The carrot cake was amazing, but I had trouble with the frosting. As soon as I started spreading it, it turned clumpy and dry. Next time, I'd add less powdered sugar.

    I have a similar recipe but instead of the pineapple, I just have 1/3 cup of pineapple juice and there are no nuts or cloves in my recipe but I have 1/2 cup of raisins. My frosting has a dribble of half and half instead of milk. I got my recipe from a ski instuctor in Aspen. Great cake!
