------------------------------------CAKE------------------------------------
2 c Flour, sifted 1/2 c Vegetable oil
1 ts Baking soda 3/4 c Coca-Cola
1/2 ts Salt 1-1/2 ts Vanilla
2 tb Cocoa 2-1/4 c Raw carrots, grated
3 Eggs 1 c Nuts, chopped
1-1/2 c Sugar 1 c Coconut, flaked
Mix all the dry ingredients together. Beat the eggs well; add sugar, oil,
3/4 cup cola, and vanilla and beat well. Stir in the dry ingredients until
smooth, then add the carrots, nuts and coconut. Mix well. Bake in a greased
and lightly floured 13 x 9 pan in a preheated 350 F oven for 40-50 minutes,
until cake tests done. Remove from oven and prick hot cake all over with a
fork, then pour the cola syrup slowly, evenly over the top. Serve warm or
room temperature with lightly sweetened-vanilla flavored whipped cream.
Coca-Cola Syrup: Combine sugar, cocoa, cola, butter and corn syrup in
saucepan; bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Boil,
stirring, until thick and syrupy, about 5 minutes. Add vanilla extract.
Remove from heat and pour, hot, over hot cake.
