“A very rich, moist carrot cake made with four pureed carrot baby food jars. This vintage recipe is too rich to add any frosting!
It is really an over-the-top, decadent cake that has gotten many recipe requests over the years. If you are counting calories, you better have just half a slice!
This recipe can also make 14 mini-bundt cakes, just bake them for 20–25 minutes or until cake tester comes out clean. Enjoy!”

I have been looking for this recipe ever since my home burned down in 2012. I remembered the ingredients but not the amounts. Thank you. Can’t wait to make this once again.
HI Sheila! Well then, I am SO glad youfound it! Very sorry to hear about your house, though. I am even more delighted to share it with you! Enjoy!
You are right… I can tell this is very rich, but my it such sounds delicious! I have never heard of using baby food in a cake recipe before. Definitely sounds like a vintage thing to do! 🙂
yes….my guess is that it is from around the 60’s or 70’s ? There are other Hawaiian Wedding Cake Recipes out there, all of them different. I haven’t found one the same as this one.
Oh my goodness, this is defiantly one I will make <3 Thanks for the recipe.
Great! It is a rich one!
haha, I know! And I’ve been making this for years! It is a very rich vintage recipe. They sure didn’t care too much about calories back then! 🙂
The ingredients in this cake are incredible! I’m drooling just at the thought of it! 🙂
