Eating Healthy but Want Cake?  Carrot-Healthy Recipe is the Answer!

Cashews and fresh pineapple in this cake, carrot-healthy recipe make all the difference.  Even though the olive oil is a little unusual for a cake, it works wonderfully with the hearty carrots and wheat flour.  Make sure the orange juice is fresh-squeezed—it lends an entirely different taste from juice bought at the store.
