For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding 1/2 teaspoon of ground nutmeg or ginger to the dry ingredients. To prevent the nuts and raisins from sinking to the bottom of the cake, toss them with a tablespoon of flour before adding them to the batter. If you don't have buttermilk, you can make a substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice to 3/4 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using. The cake can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Oct 22, 2023I've tried many carrot cake recipes, and this is by far the best. The pineapple adds a wonderful touch.
