Shortcut Carrot Cake

    I plan to leave out the pineapple; I think that would make it soggy. I plan to also add a touch of flour (maybe a bit under a quarter cup) because the mix I'm using is already one with pudding built in so it does need to have something to balance the added moisture of the fresh carrots I'll be adding to the mix. OH! And I plan to replace half the water with carrot juice too, which is another reason I need to be sure it doesn't come out too moist. Wish me luck!

    Shortcut Carrot Cake,This is one of the best carrot cakes we have had. It is from Kraft, and is SO easy. I changed it a tad, by adding golden raisins to my liking, and I made it in a 11×13 pan, and added baking time to it until it tested done as directed. The prep time was based on shredding the carrots, but buying the prepared carrots cuts the prep time to about 10 minutes!,I plan to leave out the pineapple; I think that would make it soggy.

The wetness of the drained pineapple ruined the proper ratio.
