Excellent recipe

I made this cake for my co-workers. I excluded the coconut and nuts because I know a lot of people don't like coconut and others may be allergic to nuts. They have raved over it. I want to make it again for family and I am planning on adding the coconut and nuts to that cake..

SO Good!

I love this carrot cake! the subtle pumpkin flavor was so good, and the cake turned out a lot more moist than others i've tried. Even my boyfriend who hates carrot cake was telling everyone how great it was!.

Oh My Goodness!!!!

This is by far the best carrot cake. It is best made ahead of time. Let it refridgerate at least one day before you eat it. Everyone wants the recipe..
