Looking at it now, I don&#8217;t think I should have called it &#8220;Mrs. Fields&#8221; because I made so many changes. But that&#8217;s what it goes by and it&#8217;s what I have been making on and off for years. Usually I make carrot cake with oil, but this carrot cake cake is all about the butter. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#wprm-recipe-container-75067\" data-recipe=\"75067\" style=\"color: #333333;\" class=\"wprm-recipe-jump wprm-recipe-link wprm-jump-to-recipe-shortcode wprm-block-text-normal\">Jump to Recipe<\/a><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" data-od-removed-fetchpriority=\"high\" data-od-replaced-sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" src=\"\/HTML\/BODY\/DIV[@class='site-container']\/*[5][self::DIV]\/*[1][self::DIV]\/*[1][self::MAIN]\/*[2][self::ARTICLE]\/*[2][self::DIV]\/*[3][self::FIGURE]\/*[1][self::IMG]\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1200\" sizes=\"auto, (782px &lt; width) 728px, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" alt=\"Mrs. Fields' Carrot Cake recipe with three sticks of butter and cream cheese frosting\" data-skip-lazy=\"\" class=\"wp-image-99884\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cookiemadness.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/carrot-cake-slice.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.cookiemadness.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/carrot-cake-slice-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cookiemadness.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/carrot-cake-slice-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.cookiemadness.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/carrot-cake-slice-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.cookiemadness.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/carrot-cake-slice-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.cookiemadness.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/carrot-cake-slice-500x500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.cookiemadness.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/carrot-cake-slice-720x720.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.cookiemadness.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/carrot-cake-slice-360x360.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.cookiemadness.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/carrot-cake-slice-180x180.jpg 180w\"\/><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-everything-style-carrot-cake\">Everything Style Carrot Cake<\/h2>\n<p>This is an &#8220;everything style&#8221; carrot cake with walnuts, raisins, pineapple and coconut. I refuse to make it if I am missing any one of those elements. Well, except the coconut. It&#8217;s fine without the coconut. But I recommend keeping the pineapple. I suspect the pineapple and the juices that seep out it of react with the baking soda, which is why there is so much baking soda.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-tablespoon-of-baking-soda\">Tablespoon of Baking Soda<\/h2>\n<p>This seems like a lot of baking soda, but it reacts with the acid from the pineapple and brown sugar. It also makes the cake darker, which is a quality I like in carrot cake. For a lighter colored and less dense carrot cake OR if you are leaving out the pineapple, you can use 2 teaspoons of baking soda and 1 teaspoon of baking powder. I like the dark color of the baking soda version. For the cake in the photo below, I baked two layers with the baking soda and baking powder combo and 1 layer with baking soda. Can you tell which layer has the soda? <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" data-od-replaced-sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" src=\"\/HTML\/BODY\/DIV[@class='site-container']\/*[5][self::DIV]\/*[1][self::DIV]\/*[1][self::MAIN]\/*[2][self::ARTICLE]\/*[2][self::DIV]\/*[8][self::FIGURE]\/*[1][self::IMG]\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1200\" sizes=\"auto, (782px &lt; width) 728px, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" alt=\"Mrs. Fields Carrot Cake Recipe\" class=\"wp-image-99857\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cookiemadness.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/mrs-fields-carrot-cake-1200.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.cookiemadness.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/mrs-fields-carrot-cake-1200-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cookiemadness.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/mrs-fields-carrot-cake-1200-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.cookiemadness.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/mrs-fields-carrot-cake-1200-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.cookiemadness.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/mrs-fields-carrot-cake-1200-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.cookiemadness.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/mrs-fields-carrot-cake-1200-500x500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.cookiemadness.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/mrs-fields-carrot-cake-1200-720x720.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.cookiemadness.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/mrs-fields-carrot-cake-1200-360x360.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.cookiemadness.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/mrs-fields-carrot-cake-1200-180x180.jpg 180w\"\/><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-mixing-method\">Mixing Method<\/h2>\n<p>To keep the cake dense and heavy, this cake calls for a slightly different mixing method &#8212; one similar to the two stage method, but not quite the same. You mix all the dry ingredients, add partially melted butter then mix well with one of the eggs. You then add the remaining eggs and other ingredients, beating until everything is well combined.

If you make the three layer version you&#8217;ll need to make 1 \u00bd times the frosting. If you want to make it as a smaller cake but still layered, you can make \u2154 of the recipe and use two 8-inch pans. I haven&#8217;t tested a 6-inch version yet, but I think a half batch would fit nicely between two 6-inch round cake pans.<\/p>\n<p>If you try the cake, let me know what you think! It&#8217;s definitely a moist carrot cake, and the extra butter adds to the flavor. That being said, there are a lot of great oil based cake with tons of flavor from the spices and there are some good cakes made with honey and maple syrup.
