What a rich, moist carrot cake this is! And it is made with pureed carrot baby food! 

This vintage recipe needs no frosting! There are many variations of cakes called Hawaiian Wedding Cake. Some are like this one, based on a carrot cake. Some are white and have a coconut frosting. This version is really a carrot cake taken up a notch that I’ve gotten so many requests for the recipe over the years.

No mixer needed! You can make this cake by hand or use an electric mixer if you prefer. 

If you are counting calories, you better have just half a slice! 

This recipe can also make 14 mini-bundt cakes;  just bake them at 375°F for 20–25 minutes or until a cake tester comes out clean.

Enjoy!
