The cake turned out fabulous. I made a few changes, though. My cake came out very moist and delicious, by accident too! I didn't read it correctly, and I didn't drain the pineapple, and I added a little too much milk, maybe less than a 1/4 cup. Also, it's a very big cake, so it will last for a good week+; I would suggest it for a party; your guests will be delighted. =)

This was the BEST carrot cake I have ever had. I have made it twice already and it is so moist. I also like to sprinkle the top of the icing with the leftover coconut. It makes a great touch! Thank you for the recipe!

The first time I tried this cake, the frosting slid off the cake when I cut into it. Also, the consistency wasn't right. But I had a feeling that I should give it another try before rating it and deciding to move on. I'm so glad I did. It came out perfectly the second time. This is truly some awesome cake!

Great recipe! Everyone loved it! I read many recipes where someone had to change this or that. I didn't change anything about this one except to bake it in a couple of spring-form pans and put a thin layer of the cream cheese frosting between the 2 cake layers.

This carrot cake is wonderful!!! I am constantly getting requests for this cake. Everyone says that it reminds them of their grandmother's cake. I omit the coconut and add about a cup of raisins. I always make it as a layer cake and therefore prepare 1.5x the frosting.

I was going to make this for my anniversary because it sounded very nice. The batter seemed perfect but when it came to baking it, it never set. It was carrot pudding and i had to throw it away. I wouldnt recommened this recipe to anyone.

HEAVY/DENSE: I didn't read the reviews so I didn't know that it was so dense. It's like a fruit cake. Not what anyone was expecting, but other communities have carrot cakes like this, I see.

Amazingly simple and so delicious. I've made it twice for two different groups and it's a crowd pleaser. Nothing left but crumbs. I'm not a coconut fan, so I skipped the coconut and used 3 cups of carrots instead of 2, but all else I followed to the letter. This one's a keeper!

I made my first carrot cake with this recipe for my husband's birthday cake. It is VERY rich so if you're looking for a light and fluffy cake, this is not it: one small piece was plenty for each birthday guest. As other raters mentioned, the texture of this cake is different than most carrot cakes that I've had---it's really moist but it is dense. It calls for grated carrots, but I put them in my chopper instead of grating them. That worked just fine. I would definately make this one again.

Tried this recipe for Church coffee hour and it was a big hit. However in step 2 it said to add the vanilla twice. Not paying attention I did so and the cake was still quite good. I've tweeked it somewhat for less calories but basically it's still a great cake.

This recipe did not work for me. The only thing I did differently was use fresh pineapple which I chopped in a blender (but didn't drain). The batter seemed wet, so I even added a bit more flour, but the end result was still a carrot pudding rather than a cake. I'm an experienced baker so I'm not sure what happened. The taste was decent, though.

This was awesome, everyone loved it and wanted to take some home. I made a few changes, only because I did not want the nuts, and coconut in it. I also used sour cream instead of buttermilk as suggested by another reviewer. Also I thought 2 cups of sugar was a bit much, I used 1 cup sugar and 1 cup of splenda, I might even try all splenda next time. As I said awesome, very moist and delish. You will not have any leftovers!!
