I’m not labeling this cake paleo or primal, because well, it is not. But it is gluten-free, grain-free, and hopefully it is less inflammation-inducing than your typical carrot cake. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

1 cup raisins
1 15-ounce can crushed pineapple (the whole can, juice included)

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350º.
In a large bowl, mix all ingredients together well.
Pour batter into a greased 9×13 pan or two 8×8 pans.
Bake for 35-45 minutes.
Cool completely, and then frost with cream cheese frosting.
