I wanted to make a carrot cake for my dad’s birthday. He is here with us right now. So I called my mother in law up, and asked her to send me some recipes. She sent me 2 and I just picked one. I personally HATE carrot cake. Never eat it. Do not like it…you get the point! But since it is his birthday I had to have a piece. 
If you like to try new things, YOU have to try this out. IT WAS SO GOOD! SO very good, that I kept eating it! It was so moist! So I guess I like “this” carrot cake! Enjoy!

MIX ALL THESE TOGETHER:
1/2 cup oil, 3/4 cup sugar, 2 eggs, 1/2 tsp cloves, 1 tsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp nutmeg, 1 tsp baking soda, 1/2 tsp salt, 1 cup grated raw carrots, 1/2 cup crushed pineapple, 1 1/2 cups flour.
****if it seems too dry, just keep on mixing until it gets moist or you can add about a tablespoon more of crushed pineapple.
Bake at 350 for 20-30 minutes.
This can be used for a 8 x 8 pan or 2 dozen muffins. ( I USED A CIRCLE PAN) I bet these would be great for breakfast. You could even add walnuts, or maybe raisins or coconut, if you wanted to get adventurous!
And it would not be complete unless you put Cream Cheese Frosting on it!
Cream cheese icing:
4 oz Philadelphia cream cheese, 1/4 cup butter, 1 tsp vanilla, 2 cups icing sugar. Beat together. When cake is cool, spread frosting on top of cake. Keep refrigerated after it is frosted.
