You will need the following ingredients:
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar firmly packed
4 eggs
3/4 cup applesauce
3/4 cup vegetable oil
2 tsp pure vanilla
3 medium carrots shredded
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
2 1/2 cups flour
1 batch of salted caramel frosting (or regular cream cheese frosting)
1 cup coconut toasted.
Beat eggs, add sugar, vanilla, applesauce and oil, beat well. Add baking soda, baking powder, salt, and pumpkin spice, beat well. Add shredded carrots. Add flour and beat well. Divide batter evenly between three sprayed and floured 9" cake pans. Bake at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes until a toothpick in the center comes out clean. Cool on wire racks. Heavily frost the top of each layer with caramel frosting. Top with toasted coconut. Peggy
