What sets this carrot cake apart is its exquisite fusion of cosy spices offset by delightfully fresh, tart nuances, reports the Express.

The added sweetened coconut flakes amplify the exotic pineapple flavours, while its generous sugar ratio guarantees a soft texture.

Choosing vegetable oil over butter is the trick for an ultra-moist cake that remains perfect for consumption up to five days when refrigerated.

Crucially, the recipe stipulates not to press out the liquid from the grated carrots, preserving their inherent juiciness and taste.

To achieve the best results she advises:

1. Use crushed pineapple in 100% pineapple juice: Drain it well to avoid excess moisture in your batter.
2. Opt for sweetened coconut: It rounds out the cake’s flavor and is easier to find.
3. Ensure eggs are at room temperature: This helps the cake bake evenly.
4. Cool the cake layers completely before frosting: This prevents the frosting from melting and ensures a perfect finish.
