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.
