Step by Step Method

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, combine the sugar, coconut, eggs and the oil.

Step 2

Slowly add the flour, baking soda, salt, baking powder, nutmeg, cinnamon and finally the carrot.

Step 3

Beat all the ingredients and then pour into the baking pan.

Step 4

Heat the oven to 345 ° F and bake for about 45 minutes. Allow the pan to cool and remove cake to tray.

Step 5

To make the caramel sauce, pour the water into a heavy-bottomed saucepan. Add the sugar and heat over medium-high heat. Stir the pan to dissolve the sugar, but once the mixture comes to a boil, stop stirring.

Step 6

Allow the water to boil off and the sugar to start turning brown. When you get to a nice medium caramel color, pull the pan from the stove, mix in the liquor and pour directly over the cake. Allow to cool before serving.
