This zucchini carrot cake is very moist and tasty. The pineapple and walnut cream cheese frosting makes it very special!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1.5 cups vegetable oil
  • 1 cup grated carrot
  • 1 cup grated zucchini
  • 4 large eggs
  • 0.5 cups honey

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour three 8-inch round cake pans.

  2. 2

    To make the cake: Mix all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, sugar, cinnamon, salt, and baking soda together in a bowl.

  3. 3

    Beat oil, carrots, zucchini, and eggs in a large bowl with an electric mixer on low speed until well blended. Beat in honey. Stir in flour mixture gradually, then beat on medium speed until batter is smooth, about 3 minutes. Divide batter evenly among the prepared cake pans.

  4. 4

    Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Cool in the pans for 5 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack and allow to cool completely, about 25 more minutes.

  5. 5

    Meanwhile, make the frosting: Beat confectioners' sugar, pineapple, cream cheese, walnuts, butter, and vanilla in a large bowl with an electric mixer until smooth.

  6. 6

    Spread frosting over the top of each cooled cake layer. Stack layers, then frost sides and top.
