Tropical Carrot Cake - Cooks Country by Cooks Illustrated recipe - A

I know this is the second post of the new version of meghanandryanraterecipes.com, and I also gave this one an "A," but this cake is to die for. If you like carrot cake. I make exactly 1 time per year, and that is for Lara Carl (reptilianskiesandpeacockeyes.blogspot.com) for her birthday. I made it one time when I got a copy of Cooks Country magazine and shared it with her and the downstairs neighbors. Lara actually hates cake, but loves this one so much that I make it for her birthday every year. I've never actually asked her if she wants it or not, I just want an excuse to make it for her and I've done so for the past three years. This year, I made it as a layer cake, which is what the recipe calls for and what I did the first time I made it, but I've also made it as a sheet cake and cup cakes. That is a picture of Lara taking a picture of the cake.

Here is a link to another blogspoter who made the cake. It is nice to know that his turned out just like mine! He says he wound up with extra frosting though, and I would NEVER let that happen!
