Jaime,

I'll be making this for Easter! I'll post it on my blog and track it back to your blog since you've inspired the idea. When I was looking through some books, I noticed I had the book, THE PASTRY QUEEN by Rebecca Rather.

Happy Easter!
Carmen

If I do not like cocounut, can I just eliminate the coconut and get a good carrot cake as well? Not sure if my guests like coconut..

Jaime, I've had this before, and HAD the recipe and misplaced it. It was slightly different as I still have the coconut milk that mine had called for. It IS the BEST Carrot Cake ever. Thank you soo much for making my day~!!!!!!

2009-01-16T08:34:00.000-06:00

anonymous - Coco Lopez is just a Brand of coconut cream. you do not have to use that brand. You should, however use coconut CREAM, not coconut MILK. If you have trouble finding coconut cream, there are instructions within my post on how to get coconut cream from the coconut milk! Hope that helps and I hope you enjoy this cake, I love it!! :)

Can I use coconut milk instead of Coco Lopez?

Hi Jaime,

Thank you for your speedy response. I searched a few more shops and came across sweetened coconut, so hopefully that should do. I also found crushed pineapple, so i can finaaallly make the cake. Thanks loads, i shall let you know how it turned out :)

2008-10-26T13:58:00.000-05:00

Asu - thank you for the kind words!

do you have fresh coconut? if you do, you can actually make your own flaked coconut by cooking it in a pan with sugar. i suppose you could use dessicated coconut but it won't be as sweet and i'm not sure how it would change the texture. you could also just omit it from this recipe, but it will have less coconut flavor if you do that.

for the pineapple - do you have access to other types of canned pineapple? if so, just put that in your food processor and give it a quick whirl and you'll have crushed pineapple. chopped fresh pineapple should be a suitable substitute too.

2008-10-26T10:08:00.000-05:00

I really realy want to make this cake, but unfortunately i've found it really hard to find falked coconut in the uk and crushed pineapple. We have desicated coconut and chopped pineapple. I was thinking of toasting the coconut and crushing the pineapple, do you think this will be appropriate? I might have to go searching in speacilist shop. I love your blog by the way and the photography is amazing.
