     1/2  teaspoon      Salt
   2      tablespoons   Cocoa
   3                    Eggs
   1 1/2  cups          Sugar
     1/2  cup           Vegetable oil
     3/4  cup           Coca-Cola
   1 1/2  teaspoons     Vanilla
   2 1/4  cups          Raw carrots -- grated
   1      cup           Nuts -- chopped
   1      cup           Coconut -- flaked
                        -----COCA-COLA SYRUP-----
     3/4  cup           Sugar
   2      teaspoons     Cocoa
   6      tablespoons   Coca-Cola
   6      tablespoons   Butter
   1      tablespoon    Light corn syrup
     1/2  teaspoon      Vanilla

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.
