I never go back to make comments after using a recipe but this cake was deeeellicciouss!!! I love how you include the whole kitchen sink - Carrot overload, pineapples, walnuts, raisins, coconut... All make it so moist!! I was also on the hunt for a recipe that used butter as most use oil. This was delicious!

Ech! I tried it, my son tried it and we both agreed. It ended up in the garbage. Did not grow, the soaked raisins were so soft and mushy it was disgusting biting into one of them. Coconut was overpowering. Waste of ingredients. I found other recipes that suggested squeezing excess moisture out of the grated carrots. This one did not. Sickening sweet. Not for us.

I like to bake bread and pizza; Mostly on baking stones. For my 50th birthday my family took me on a mystery ride to the King Arthur Flour shop in Vermont, where I bought a deep dish pizza pan. Now I'll be baking my first pizza in a pan, not on a stone!
