Carrot Cornucopia Cake image

A really good, dense carrot spice cake. It is our traditional Easter dessert and a real showstopper when decorated with green-tinted coconut and jellybeans to resemble an Easter basket. Frost with a basic cream cheese frosting with a little vanilla and lemon juice. Yum!

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cake didn't turn out right. It was dry and crumbly.
