I know it's Saturday and not Friday but I had to feature this cake today. A good friend of mine baked this carrot cake with me this morning and boy is it amazing. It is chock full of carrots, walnuts, and pineapple chunks with a kiss of ginger to finish the perfect bite. And the frosting isn't all that bad either. It's super creamy and just sweet enough. We used vanilla bean paste instead of a whole vanilla bean. The black specks running throughout the white frosting offset the orange, yellow, and brown tones of the cake itself. This cake reminds me of a hummingbird cake, which I love but without the banana flavor. We even substituted applesauce for 3/4 of the oil and it was still juicy and full of moisture. This cake is the perfect balance between sweet and sour. The cinnamon glazed carrots and candied pineapple collide with the tangy goat cheese frosting. It is a dream come true.
