Ok. First thing I did, was make a few changes based upon the reviews I read. Here are the things I changed: flour-3 cups; cinnamon-1 1/2tsps; nutmeg-3/4tsp; allspice-3/4tsp. Sugar is one where I made a big change: 1/2 cup of granulated sugar and 1/2 cup brown sugar - packed. An even bigger change was made where the oil was concerned. I used: 1/2 cup of grapeseed oil, 1/2 cup applesauce, and 1/2 cup of plain unflavored Greek yogurt. I omitted the vanilla by accident. The cake came out great.

OMG, OMG, OMG!!!!! THIS IS THE BEST CAKE EVER!!!! I am in love and officially addicted...I might get fat off of these cakes if I make them enough to satisfy my NEED for them!!! This cake disappeared the night I made it!!! That's like record time, 1 or 2 hours? The cake has the right consistency and is moist but not breaking apart moist. I love the way that the walnuts add a bit of crunch to the cake and the flavors change throughout one bite. I wouldn't take out the walnuts, raisins, or coconuts at all because they add so much to the cake. This truly is an A+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ carrot cake! I will definitely cover it with whipped cream the next time I make this because I can really imagine how these two would fit together. It would make the cake better, if that's even possible!! The only thing is that I had to reduce the bake time by 15 minutes each time I made it. I don't know why, but it would burn otherwise. (I have baked it in multiple ovens too, so I don't get it!!) This is my first cake from scratch, but it made me look like a professional!!! This is totally the ultimate dessert!! Love it and will definitely make it for the rest of my life!!

I think there may be a little bit too much 'stuff' for me- I will cut the raisons down next time to see if that helps. Overall a great recipe.

Very tasty, moist cake! As per some reviewer(s) suggestion, I reduced the amount of oil (I used 1/2 cup oil, and 3/4 milk with 1 tsp vinegar to make it as buttermilk). Also as per another reviewer, I reserved the pineapple juice and used it to soak the raisins in it. I used golden raisins, not the regular dark brown raisins. I didn't have coconut, but I'm sure it would have tasted amazing in there. Instead of making cake, I made muffins, and baked for about 20-25 min. I also did a few muffins with a cream cheese filling. The filling I used 1 pkg of cream cheese, 1/4 cup of sugar, 1 egg yolk, 1/4 tsp lemon extract, 1 tsp vanilla. For the muffins with the filling, into the muffin tin I put 2 tbsp of batter, followed by 1 level tbsp of cream cheese filling, topped it off with more batter).

Wow, this cake is the best! I never seen cake disappear that fast. Moist and delicious! I doubled up on the seasonings and added butter instead of oil, it came out divine.
