"irregardless" says enough.

The lack of verbs in the same sentence underscores the point.

I wonder how many cobwebs surround their keyboard's comma key.

Carrots have a lot of moisture, which you did not account for.

They also didn’t account for their own idiocy

The fact that two people found this "helpful." Maybe for judging Moureen's capacity for general good sense.

Well there's the problem. You subtracted half a cup of 4 ingredients (coconut, pecans, pineapple, raisins), thus -2 cups total. But then you only put one extra cup of carrots instead of 2 extra cups.

That's it. The cake texture is inside the missing cup!

I bet they just added the carrots all together instead of in half cup increments for each replaced ingredient individually. You might be able to fool a cake on the content of ingredients you add, but never on the number of steps. Pretty sure I've read that in a cookbook somewhere.

"try again?" They didn't try a first time. Most cooking allows for a bit of fuckery and experimentation, but baking is like building a model, skipping steps and kit bashing are only for truly advanced builders.
