Hayley (Oregon) says:

This cake was wonderful! So moist, and perfect. I made mine in a tube (Bundt pan). It was the best I've ever had! The first cake I made (different recipe) got ruined and I had to make another one quickly for Easter. I was so aggravated but it was the best mistake and I'm thankful.

This was really wonderful! I used unsweetened coconut in the frosting and put the nuts on top instead of in the frosting, and used a 9x11 pan, but otherwise followed the recipe exactly. Everyone loved it and it is definitely a recipe I will use again.

I just adore your Carrot Cake! This recipe looks so for-celebrations and Christmas' are so close, I will definitely try it since I want something sweet! Coconuts and carrots are probably one of the best combinations ever created! There are candies made with coconuts and carrots, it is also so so amazing http://www.howwii.com/carrots-candies-coconuts, so if you want you can learn this version of healthy joy and maybe even try it. :)

The Carrot Cake with the coconut cream cheese icing. just heavenly. My entire family loved it. I am going to try the icing on a cake using zucchini in place of the carrots I just think while the zucchini are fresh out of the garden it will be a nice change.

Don't drain your pineapple. It makes the cake even more moist.
