Recipe Introduction




Gooey Garden Carrot Cake

This cake is famous in Ketchikan as it has been served at weddings, birthday parties, and I once gave it to a friend who started making it for a downtown restaurant. This cake is absolutely delicious and is even better if you make it at least a day ahead. There are two toppings to choose from following the recipe.


List of Ingredients




PREHEAT oven to 375° and prepare very large cake pans covered in Crisco and then dusted with flour.

COMBINE in a large bowl:

2 cups flour

2 tsp. vanilla

COMBINE ingredients in the larger bowl and add:

3 cups shredded carrots
1 16 oz. can crushed pineapple drained
1 box chopped dates
