Pat's Award Winning Carrot Cake

Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10-inch Bundt pan.

Step 2
Sift together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Set aside.

Step 3
In a large bowl, mix the oil and sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Blend in the flour mixture just until combined. Stir in chopped pecans, carrot baby food, grated carrots, and coconut. Pour batter into prepared pan.

Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, 50 to 60 minutes. Let cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack and cool completely.
