Carrot Cake

 

Hi All !
My husband loves carrots cake. This past weekend I found this recipe.  After I read the reviews that so highly talk about the recipe. I decided to make one for Easter dinner. I'm glad that choose this one because everyone loved it !!

I made some changes to the cake I didn't use raisin instead I add the carrot up to 3 cups. And next time I might reduce the flaked coconut 1/4 cup. I top it with my favorite cream cheese icing recipe. Yum !!!

Ingredients:

3 eggs 3/4 cup buttermilk 3/4 cup vegetable oil 1 1/2 cups white sugar 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon 1/4 teaspoon salt

2 cups all-purpose flour 2 teaspoons baking soda 2 cups shredded carrots 1 cup flaked coconut 1 cup chopped walnuts 1 (8 ounce) can crushed pineapple with juice 1 cup raisins

4.	In a medium bowl, combine shredded carrots, coconut, walnuts, pineapple and raisins.
5.	Using a large wooden spoon or a very heavy whisk, add carrot mixture to batter and fold in well.
