Ingredients
  

3 cups grated carrots (about 4-5 medium carrots)

1 cup unsweetened applesauce

1/2 cup crushed pineapple, drained

1/2 cup Greek yogurt (or dairy-free yogurt)

4 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

1/2 cup raisins or unsweetened coconut flakes (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan or stackable muffin tins.

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated carrots, applesauce, crushed pineapple, Greek yogurt, eggs, and vanilla extract. Stir until well integrated.

      In a separate bowl, mix together the dry ingredients: baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.

        Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.

          If using, fold in the chopped walnuts (or pecans) and raisins (or coconut flakes) for extra texture and flavor.

            Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan or muffin tins, spreading it evenly.

              Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

                Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

                  Once cooled, frost with a light layer of cream cheese frosting made from whipped cream cheese and a dash of vanilla if desired, or serve plain.
