carrot cake

[datcat37]

In the late 80's early 90's a recipe for carrot cake with a cream cheese frosting was in the cooking light magazine, my husband was in the service for 20 years, and during one of our moves I lost the magazine. Does anyone know what recipe I am talking about, or how I may find a copy of it, the cake was the best, it had pineapple in it, I cannot find another one that great.

This is my favorite carrot cake recipe- I usually skip the frosting and just sprinkle powdered sugar. Yummy! JennyLiz
