   That sounds like a delicious cake! While I don’t have the exact recipe from Devon’s Seafood Grill, I can help you create a version inspired by it. Here’s a basic recipe for a carrot cake with pecan praline filling and sweet cream cheese frosting, along with toasted coconut:

   Carrot Cake Recipe

   Ingredients:
   – 2 cups all-purpose flour
   – 2 cups sugar
   – 1 tsp baking powder
   – 1 tsp baking soda
   – 1 tsp salt
   – 1 tsp cinnamon
   – 1/2 tsp nutmeg
   – 1 cup vegetable oil
   – 4 large eggs
   – 3 cups grated carrots (about 5-6 medium carrots)
   – 1 cup crushed pineapple, drained
   – 1 cup chopped pecans
   – 1/2 cup shredded coconut (toasted)

   Directions:

   1. Preheat the Oven:
      Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.

   2. Mix Dry Ingredients:
      In a bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

   3. Mix Wet Ingredients:
      In another bowl, combine the oil, eggs, grated carrots, and crushed pineapple.

   4. Combine:
      Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold in the chopped pecans and shredded coconut.

   5. Bake:
      Divide the batter between the prepared cake pans and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let them cool in the pans for about 10 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.

   Pecan Praline Filling

   Ingredients:
   – 1 cup brown sugar
   – 1/2 cup heavy cream
   – 1/2 cup chopped pecans
   – 1/4 cup butter

   Directions:

   1. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and brown sugar together, stirring continuously.
   2. Add the heavy cream and bring to a gentle boil. Cook for about 5 minutes, then stir in the chopped pecans.
   3. Remove from heat and let cool slightly before using it as a filling between the cakes.

   Sweet Cream Cheese Frosting

   Ingredients:
   – 8 oz cream cheese, softened
   – 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
   – 4 cups powdered sugar
   – 1 tsp vanilla extract

   Directions:

   1. In a bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter together until smooth.
   2. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla, mixing until creamy and well combined.

   Assembly:

   1. Place one layer of the carrot cake on a serving plate. Spread a layer of the pecan praline filling over the top.
   2. Place the second layer of cake on top and frost the entire cake with the cream cheese frosting.
   3. Top with additional toasted coconut for garnish.

   I hope this helps you recreate that special cake for your wedding! Enjoy, and congratulations!
