CARROT CAKE ~DOCTORED MIX RECIPE - MY CAKE SCHOOL

Carrot Cake ~Doctored Mix Recipe - My Cake School image

This moist and delicious Carrot Cake starts with cake mixes!

Provided by Melissa Diamond

Total Time 0S

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 box spice cake mix
1 box white cake mix
Follow box instructions, substituting orange juice for half of the water.
1 teaspoon cinnamon
3/4 c. shredded coconut
2 1/4-2 1/2 cups carrots, grated fine
4 oz. crushed, drained pineapple. (We buy an 8 oz can of crushed pineapple and use about half) put in a strainer to let the excess juice drain out
1 cup chopped pecans.

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees and prepare three 8 inch cake pans with shortening and a dusting of flour. Line pans with parchment or wax paper. Mix cake mixes together according to box instructions. Then add remaining ingredients. Bake at 325 degrees until cakes spring back when touched in the center. This makes a lot of cake batter. You can bake up and freeze any extra layers, tightly wrapped, or you can half the recipe. If you half the recipe, I would use the spice cake mix rather than the white.

INCREDIBLY MOIST AND EASY CARROT CAKE - INSPIRED TASTE

This is the best carrot cake recipe I’ve ever used. For the carrots, we prefer to hand grate for the finest carrot pieces that melt into the cake batter, but you can also use a food processor. It makes quick work of grating carrots, but the pieces will be slightly larger. Some grocery stores sell bags of grated carrots, as well. This recipe is forgiving. You can make this with or without the nuts and raisins. We like using both granulated and brown sugar in this, but using one or the other is an option **The creamy frosting recipe shared below is a soft frosting and is not ideal for frosting the entire cake. It is more the consistency of stabilized whipped cream, rather than traditional cream cheese frosting. For a more traditional cream cheese frosting, see the notes section.

When the cake layers are completely cool, frost the top of one cake layer, place the other cake layer on top. Decoratively swirl the top of the cake with remaining frosting, leaving the sides unfrosted. Scatter nuts on top.
