You don't want to make this very often because it is not that healthy carrot cake, but it is delicious. Save it for special occasions. I most recently made it for a work pot luck. It is perfectly moist and delicious. I am a HUGE cream cheese frosting fan as well and this has crushed pineapple in the frosting. Oh so yummy!
