Pineapple Carrot Cake

I was so surprised that this cake turned out so moist and yummy. I made it for Ryan's birthday. It came from the "Sweet and Sugarfree" cookbook. The recipe calls for crushed pineapple and cinnamon as a topping, but I made a basic cream cheese frosting for it.

3 eggs
1/2 c. butter, softened
1 c. unsweetened pineapple juice
1 c. whole wheat flour
1 1/2 c. white flour
1 t. baking soda
2 t. baking powder
1 t. nutmeg
1 t. cinnamon
3 c. grated carrot

Topping:
1 c. crushed pineapple
1 t. cinnamon

1. Beat together eggs, butter, and pineapple juice. Add flours, soda, powder, and spices. Beat well.
2. Stir in grated carrot and mix.
3. Spread batter evenly in a greased and floured 9 by 13 pan.
4. Top with crushed pineapple and cinnamon. (if using)
5. Bake for 25-30 minutes at 350 degrees until browned. Cool on a wire rack.
