I was exhausted, but carrot cake is my favorite so it didn't take much to convince me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I pulled out a recipe I'd created awhile ago from a combination of recipes so I could update the photos and put it in the new recipe format.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since it was before Valentine's Day I used a heart shape pan, plus some mini cupcakes to keep me from devouring too much at once. Well, that was the plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Everyone loved them, and no one noticed that these have far less oil and added sugar than most carrot cake recipes. I actually like it better than many heavier carrot cake recipes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But the absolute best part of this recipe is the Pineapple Cream Cheese Icing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Seriously, I could eat it straight. I didn't, of course. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I mean if there happened to be a little bit extra I might have spread some on some crackers, but its not like I stuck my finger in the container and ate it like that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At least not in front of witnesses.<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"recipe\"><\/div><div id=\"wprm-recipe-container-17482\" class=\"wprm-recipe-container\" data-recipe-id=\"17482\"
