Cream Cheese Frosting

We are definitely Carrot Cake Lovers, even had a Carrot Cake for our wedding. Can these recipes be used in a Bundt pan? I don’t use much frosting when I use a Bundt pan because the cake speaks for itself. Thanks, Patricia
My Bundt pan is one of those 'vintage' metal (iron?) and I have always baked the carrot cake in this metal Bundt pan for 45 minutes. Didn't have to add any more time, in fact, because it's metal, it heated much more effectively, I think. It has been said that ovens vary, so check for doneness at 45 minutes. That's when you add more time, as needed.
Hi, Patricia. Love your carrot cake enthusiasm! You can make this recipe in a 10- or 12-cup bundt pan. If you use a 10-cup bundt, you will need to cook it a bit longer. If you use a 12-cup bundt pan, a little less. Keep an eye on it!
I have this same recipe but in stead of having pineapple in it it has raisins in it..
I use pineapple and raisins both. Where it asks for nuts, use half the nuts and half raisins. I've had this recipe for a number of years and it has become one of those "family secrets" recipe. LOL. I don't use lemon zest in the icing. I use vanilla.

I've made this a few times now, and it's true: this is the best carrot cake I've ever had. I think it might be the pineapple that gives it that special something. Next time I might try subbing applesauce for the oil. Would it be a 1 : 1 substitution? Thanks!
Can this recipe be done in two 8 inch cake pans instead? And if so, would I have to double the frosting?
Hi, TK. Yes and yes! This recipe will be wonderful as a 2-tier cake and it will be best to double the frosting. Enjoy!
If I want to make this cake without the pineapple, do I need to make any adjustments?
