Frosted Carrot Cake
We kinda combined various recipes from out there and added our own ideas, but the starting instructions came from the ever-reliable Closet Cooking.
Cake ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup shredded coconut
1/2 cup (vanilla) soy milk
1/3 cup honey
2 eggs
1 tablespoon oil
1 3/4 cups grated carrots
Frosting ingredients:
5-6 oz cream cheese (softened)
Sweetener to taste. We used ~1/4 cup agave nectar, for variety!
1/4 cup chopped pecans
Directions:
1. Mix dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, pecans, and coconut) in a bowl.
2. Mix soy milk, honey, and oil in a large bowl. Beat in eggs. Add carrots and mix well.
3. Mix dry ingredients into wet ingredients.
4. Pour mixture into a greased pan/plate. (We used a 9-inch pie plate.)
5. Bake in a 350F oven for ~30 mins, until a toothpick can come out clean.
6. Mix agave nectar into cream cheese until it is sweet enough.
7. Spread frosting over cake and top with pecans.
