Hi Rita,
Yes you can. You can also just omit them. This is a very forgiving cake recipe. Hope this helps.

Hi Lisa!
Yes, you can make this cake ahead of time and wrap them and store them in the fridge for a day. You can even freeze them for a week or two if you need to. I’ve done both and both work beautifully! I’m so glad you like this recipe. It is truly my very favorite cake!
Thanks for stopping by and visiting. Come back soon.

Hola!! I want to thank you for this delicious n amazing recipe that I’ve carried for soo many years!! It’s my top request! Literally on repeat! I have a question as I am a rookie baker. May I bake ahead. Let them cool. Then plastic wrap them. Is it ok to store them in the fridge for a day??

Hi Rachel!
Thanks so much for this wonderful review of my favorite carrot cake! The best substitution for the pineapple is 3/4 cup apple sauce. It will give you the moisture you need to replace the pineapple and still give you subtle fruity flavors. I’ve also just had others skip the pineapple all together without it affecting the outcome of this recipe. Hope this helps. Thanks again for stopping by and sharing!
Happy Nesting,
Norine

This cake is absolutely perfect. My family and friends beg me to make it. Question, what can I substitute for the pineapple if someone has an allergy to pineapple.
Please and thanks!

Hi Maddie,
Sorry I’m late responding. I have made this recipe into cupcakes and got between 32-36 cupcakes. It makes the BEST cupcakes.
Hope you had a wonderful Easter. Thanks for stopping by and thank you for the great review.

In reply to Jessica.

Hi Jessica,
It will change the texture of the cake as the chopped walnuts add texture, but it will still be delicious! Bake time will be reduced by about 5 minutes. I always strongly encourage checking these cakes as they can bake very quickly and every oven is different.
Thanks for stopping by.

If I omit the walnuts, would that change the texture of the cake and will it need to be baked longer as well?

I’ve used this recipe for years and my family loves it! I want to try to make it into cupcakes for this Easter. How many cupcakes does one batch make?

Thank you
