Made your recipe as given & had a wonderfully flavorful treat! Loved the combo of coconut, papaya & applesauce (I used some sauce that I'd made)! Also liked the carrots in this, but then I'm a big fan of carrot cake, so . . . Definitely a winner of a recipe! Thanks for sharing it! [Made & reviewed in New Kids on the Block recipe tag]
