The amount of carrot is just enough to provide a little extra crunch and
flavor and the cinnamon adds a pleasant spiciness.
Add some glaze it you desire

How to Make Coconut Carrot Cake
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees [F]. Grease and flour a 12-cup tube
pan. Sift together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar, oil, and beaten eggs and mix
well. Add the dry ingredients and mix just until blended. Add the vanilla extract. Fold in nuts, coconut, and carrots.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 1 hour, or until a cake
tester inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean. Cool the cake
in the pan.
