isn't that Hummingbird cake (with carrot and pineapple)?Regular carrot cake doesn't usually have pineapple in it and if your recipe calls for it, I'm sure it'd be fine to leave out.

it was in the edmonds cookbook under carrot cake and asked for 3/4 cup so probably needs more moisture thanks i will try it without it maybe just add more carrot?

maybe a bit more carrot and oil should do the trick

I've never put pineapple in a carrot cake and always been fine.

use apple it is great. and use less sugar as the sweetness of the apple does a good job

There are two types of carrot cake recipe - some do have it and some don't. If your recipe does it's probably best to find a different recipe as it will change the proportions of wet to dry. :-)
Oh, and I think hummingbird cake is supposed to be bananas and pineapple - with cream cheese icing and nuts, so pretty similar really. :-)

Put in a mashed banana instead.We used to do this to our carrot cake in our coffee shop - you can't taste the banana but people wonder what the special flavour is.
