PJ (Arizona) says:
I haven't tried "this" recipe yet, but mine, also called UCLA medical center carrot cake, is identical except for the frosting. Mine does not have maple flavoring but does have 3 tablespoons of crushed, chopped and well seasoned pineapple. I got my recipe from the Los Angeles Times years ago.

Someone made this carrot cake and I thought it was the best carrot cake I had ever had. I always make it & family & friends rave about it!! Throughout the years I have cut back on some of the carrots and added grated zucchini to the recipe which adds to the flavor! Don't forget the cream cheese frosting with maple flavor added (not too much).
