    Seriously, this is one tremendously delicious cake. It is among the top three cakes that I have EVER made. I made three times as much icing as the recipe called for. I used two and a half 8 oz. containers of cream cheese and one 8 oz. of mascarpone, adjusting the spices accordingly. I also did not have a lemon, so I used a bit of lime zest and a few drops of the juice and it was just amazing. The cake is moist, soft, and perfectly balanced between the carrot and coconut. Make sure to use freshly-grated carrots--big difference in the moisture level. Lastly, the cakes cooked perfectly in about 20 minutes.

    This cake was so good. I'll nuts next time. I used 3/4th teaspoon of salt, and cream cheese frosting. The thing about layering cakes is to wait until it completely cools down on a cooling rack

    I've not tasted the cake but the icing is delicious. Look for the post for the whole piece of cake. Well.... I made the cake very very good. The cake is very dense and I think making a layer cake does not do this cake justice you get more icing than cake. I made the cake again on the 29th in a single layer. Icing has a lot of flavor, used lime instead still very good. Next time I will decrease the coconut to 1/2 cup and use roasted 1/2 cup of chopped pecans. When I do that I will write another note

    This recipe is a smash hit. It is fairly straight-forward even for someone (me who does not do much baking. The spices make is something special. Fresh grinding your spices will add a bit more punch. Thanks for a great recipe!

    This cake is delicious! My family doesn't like coconut, so I left that out and it was still so good. I used only cream cheese for the frosting and substituted a little milk and 1 tsp vanilla for the lemon juice and it was really good. Will definitely make again.
