I wish I knew who Eddie was. My lovely wife of too many years lovingly informs me this is the only dessert I know how to make well. It’s true. Put me in charge of making dessert and you’re getting carrot cake. One day while leaving the Y I noticed a stack of bright purple colored papers. Upon closer inspection, the pieces of paper were copies of Eddie’s Carrot Sheet Cake recipe.
“I love carrot cake. Is this recipe any good?”
“Why do you think we have a stack of ’em on the counter?”
So here’s to Eddie, whoever you are. Thanks for the recipe. Without you I wouldn’t be making any desserts at all.
TIP – save the pineapple juice for marinade.

I still don’t know who Eddie was or is.
