I was in charge of the cake for my dad’s birthday and Father’s Day combined (we moved it to this week because all his children were busy last week…sorry dad :( ). I made him his favorite, carrot cake, with a moistening twist that’s delicious.

2 cups sugar
3 eggs
Add:
2 cups flour

1 cup crushed and drained pineapple
