I'm an analog person in a digit world. I tried to review this recipe three times and I don't think I got it in. In reviewing the comments I'm wondering what recipe we're reviewing anyway. My version does not have nutmeg or pineapple in it. But in making the recipe here, I made it for a friend in june for her birthday and her husband said it was the best carrot cake he'd ever had. I made it again this morning as a think you for a favor. I made it in two 8x8 pans so I could keep one for me! It's great and thank you for a delicious cake.

I've been using this recipe for many years! When I haven't got baking soda I simply use baking powder, and in addition to cinnamon I often add some allspice, too. All my family and friends love this carrot cake so much that I have to bake a double batch every Christmas.
