The Pineapple Carrot Cake is a staple for your baking tool box that can be adapted by substituting different ingredients.
In place of carrots, consider zucchini, butternut squash, fresh pumpkin, or apple. The only stipulation is to squeeze out the excess water.
The nuts could be any variety such as hazelnut, almonds, cashews or pistachios. The best results are roasted so take the extra step of baking the nuts before adding them.
And, rather than pineapple, consider adding apple chunks or eliminate all together.
