Who doesn't love carrot cake? It's got plenty of flavors and it's not too heavy or rich. Plus, the cream cheese frosting is always a crowd favorite. This carrot pineapple cake recipe is just as delicious as it sounds.

This recipe is a variation on the classic carrot cake. It's moist and flavorful, with a pineapple cream cheese frosting that goes down smooth. The ginger in the frosting compliments the natural sweetness of the carrot cake perfectly. I highly recommend serving this cake alongside some vanilla ice cream - it makes a delicious combination!
