I made this for a surprise birthday party, and it was a big hit! I bought fresh pineapple and crushed it, and I made sure I put the very best ingredients I could find, like raw organic honey, organic vanilla, and organic carrots. Some guests said it was the best carrot cake they had ever eaten! Wow! My husband who wasn't crazy about carrot cake, now wants me to make it for him for this weeks snack cake for work...good bye honey buns! :)
