My favourite combo…………carrot cake with creamcheese frosting
(Femitha Ashreff)-MYVOTE
Shana, how much of grated coconut should be used in making the carrot cake?
It’s 1 cup grated coconut. I’ve edited the post to include it. Thanks for letting me know of this oversight.
Shana, made the carrot cake and it was moist and soft. This recipe of adding grated coconut is a new twist. But it was nice. I used to make the carrot cake without the grated coconut.
