This makes a fabulous carrot cake! I nix the pineapple and coconut, as they're not really my style, and frost with homemade cream cheese frosting (1/2 c butter, 8 oz cream cheese, 4 c powdered sugar, 2 t vanilla). Delish!

This is the best carrot cake that I have ever made or eaten! I followed the recipe to a tee, other than adding a few raisins that I had left over and subbed some apple sauce for some of the oil. I frosted it with a whipped cream cream cheese frosting which was not too sweet and it was a perfect combination. Will make this often due to the request of my husband who is not a sweets person. He ate this up however! Thank you so much for sharing!
