This was a delicious and moist carrot cake! I made this exactly as posted, and it went together easily (once I finished grating the carrots). I actually only needed to bake it for 40 minutes. For the frosting, I left out the coconut and pecans and stuck to the plain cream cheese frosting. There are those in my household who claim to dislike coconut (although they unknowingly eat it in the cake). The frosting was actually perfect. I will definitely make this again. Thanks for sharing.
