How to Make Carrot Apple Pineapple Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. Prepare the fruit pulp: In a food processor, pulse 1 cup grated carrots, 1 cup diced apple, and 1 cup crushed pineapple (drained) until finely chopped but not pureed.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together ½ cup honey, ½ cup vegetable oil, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. Add the fruit pulp to the wet ingredients and mix well.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, ¼ teaspoon ground cloves, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Gently fold in ½ cup shredded coconut and ½ cup chopped pecans.
  8. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. **For muffins:** Fill greased muffin tins ¾ full and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 40-45 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the cake or muffins cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
