A few notes.  It's a denser cake because I didn't have enough oil for the cake so I only got half cup of oil and put in about a cup of applesauce. The banana kind of overpowered the carrot but that's ok cause banana cake is delicious too! So, maybe just use one banana if you don't want as much banana flavor, my mom had them on her counter browning so I used them up! I also used up coconut on the top of the cake because mom had some left over and we don't use coconut very often! Tasted great on the cake! Hope you like it!
