So glad to have found this as I had lost my original copy! Only question is – do I drain the pineapple before measuring or not?

Hi Cat, Thank you for you comment! I too LOVE carrot cake and Mrs. Garrett’s is my favorite. The secret is the pineapple, which makes it sweet and light. Occasionally we have also slices of the carrot cake available at the Getty Center, in the grab-and-go fridge section of the Cafe. -Annelisa, Iris editor

The Getty carrot cake is my favorite carrot cake! Husband and I always had carrot cake when we went to the Getty. Then they closed the Getty while they built the Getty Center and renovated the Getty in Malibu. When they re-opened the Getty Malibu, we found they didn’t serve the carrot cake anymore. Consternation! I’m glad they brought it back.
