  I have used this recipe for many years, except I don't use oil....I use applesauce....oil has no flavor....

  I cut back on the sugar in the cake and it still tasted really good.

  Just baked this cake yesterday. I thought it was very good, though the cake was not very sweet which surprised me. I followed the direction just as written. I liked the addition of the buttermilk glaze.

  Fantabulous cake - made it last night and had a piece warm, yummmm, and equally scrumptious this morning. Didn't add the coconut, but all else, according to the recipe.And the buttermilk glaze is heavenly, especially warm.

  Delicious! I just made this cake for a family birthday. The recipient loves carrot cake but I wanted to try a non-traditional version. The batter isn't very thick but it comes out just fine. Since I was using a dark pan, I turned down my oven a little, and the cake was done in just under 55 minutes. Instead of putting the nuts in the batter I toasted them and sprinkled them on top so the kids could removed them if they didn't want them. I also omitted the coconut. If you want you can add raisins to this, I'm sure. For the glaze, I reduced the sugar to a generous 3/4 cup. There is so much sugar in this recipe that you won't even notice. This recipe is very similar to a fruit cocktail cake that my husband's mother makes him (his all time favorite), so I knew I couldn't go wrong making this one!
