Store-bought carrot cake is just not good carrot cake. This is fresh and you can taste the difference. Search for a carrot cake icing recipe for a glorious finish to this cake.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Bundt cakes are a beautiful addition to a holiday table, and this fresh carrot Bundt cake is fantastic for Easter. Pineapple baked into the carrot cake makes the crumb moist and adds a bit of richness. We love the crunch and nuttiness of the pecans. This is a very easy from-scratch carrot cake. Karen mentions topping with carrot cake icing. Traditional carrot cake icing is cream cheese frosting. We used a basic recipe, piped ribbons of it on the Bundt cake, and topped it with extra pecans for a pretty presentation.
