"This is a recipe my MIL made quite often and was enjoyed by all. It is a basic carrot cake recipe but you can add nuts, raisins, coconut or even pineapple pieces if you like, but, I prefer it as is. She frosted this cake with #recipe6561."

I made this recipe on 4/1/13 for the " Billboard Tag " & " Pick Me ! Tag " games. Since I'm the only one that eats Carrot Cake,the recipe was reduced by half.I added about 1/3 cup chopped pecans and about the same amount of coconut.Instead of using an 8x 8 inch pan, a mini loaf/brownie pan was used to make individual cakes. The cakes were baked for 20 minutes at 350 degrees.I had to do a " Quality Control " test and found the texture to be slightly dense,but very moist. For me the sweetness of the cake was perfect, so no frosting/icing was required. I'm very pleased to be the first one to rate,review,& photograph this recipe. Thanks for posting and " Keep Smiling :) "
