Preheat oven to 350F. In a large bowl, combine the sugar, flour, cinnamon, baking soda and salt. Add the eggs, oil, applesauce, carrots and vanilla. Beat until combined. Stir in pineapple and coconut.

Pour into a greased 13" x 9" baking pan. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack.
