    Carrot cake is one of my favorites, and your maple icing sounds really tremendous. I may have to give this a try sometime soon, perhaps even for Easter.

    Yum! I haven't seen a carrot cake recipe before with pineapple and coconut in it and imagine it would be quite moist and delicious. This seems to be carrot crossed with hummingbird cake! Very delicious!

    I love carrot cake. The first time someone eats mine, they usually laugh because of the large carrot shavings, but they always ask for a piece to take home. LOL I've never heard of maple syrup on carrot cake-- I'll have to try it! Thanks!

    Thank you! I just finished making this awesome carrot cake and wonderful icing. I will definately make this again and put in my box of favorite recipes. The only thing that I changed or added was, I did not use the coconut and I added about a cup of crushed walnuts to the batter with the carrots and pineapple. This is the first time I attempted to make carrot cake and it turned out wonderful and moist and very easy. Thank you again for sharing this wonderful carrot cake with me and many others. I will share this recipe with my family and friends for parties and picnics.

    I vividly remember the first time I saw and had carrot cake (not a very common thing here in Belgium, certainly not back then). I was working as a waitress during my college years and an American customer came in with her 6-year old son and some of his friends for a small birthday party. She brought a huge chocolate cake and a carrot cake. The kids all went for the chocolate cake, obviously, and she had a small slice of carrot cake. When I brought her the check, she asked what would happen to the rest of the cakes if she left them. I assured them they wouldn't go to waste, the staff would devour them in minutes.
    After taking the cakes back to the kitchen, I had a small slice of the carrot cake. I think I fell in love right then and there. My colleagues ate the chocolate cake and I selfishly kept the carrot cake all to myself. I hid it in the fridge. LOL
    I'll definitely have to try your recipe.
  • scarlettohairy May 24, 2011 @ 9:05 pm | delete
    Your carrot cake recipe sound delicious! I have a favorite recipe too so will probably stick with it. I adore carrot cake so if you bring me a slice, I'll certainly give it a taste. ;o)

    Now that maple icing of yours would be the perfect topping for a healthy and delicious carrot cake....and don't forget that orange mixer!

    I thought my brother-in-law made the best carrot cake ever but this one definitely looks like a contender! Guess we'll have to have a bake-off next time he visits.

    I love carrot cake and have added this lens as a favorite so that I can try this recipe. Usually I use a carrot cake recipe that my sister gave me years ago, but I want to try this one and compare. Thanks for sharing.

    Anyone who loves carrots as much as you do is a #1 in my book. Thanks for all this insight to my favorite food. I have read about this particular carrot cake recipe, but I everyone says "this is the best (fill in the blank) recipe" so you never know. I'll try it now. I also have the same Kitchenaide, in a lovely apple green. I love my mixer!
  • TylaMac Mar 2, 2011 @ 1:53 am | delete
    I hardly ever meet a cake that I don't like but carrot cake is one of my favorites. This recipe looks moist and delicious. I think maple syrup would be a great sweetener for a carrot cake and zucchini bread,too.

    Of course these carrots count as vegetable - but the whether it's healthy will also be determined by the amount of sugar.

    I am fascinated with maple now, I can't remember having maple syrup ever in my life although I have seen it on supermarket shelves. - and fascinated with your information on gadgets too. An upright carrot peeler? What next? Lol. I didn't know that anyone peeled carrots but of course you would have to for a cake :) Carrots aren't something I eat, they just go in the juice extractor in my house. I must also confess that I have never made a carrot cake but your recipe sounds simple enough
