Ultimate Carrot Cake
This is a recipe that I got from my Mom, origin unknown. I use this all the time for parties and weddings, and everyone loves it. Some like to leave out the nuts or raisins. Has a great carrot taste without any chunks and is evenly flavored.

Hi- can i leave out the coconut? Have you used in a tiered wedding cake ?
Do you have a good non dairy frosting to use with it?
