Cooking Steps
- Peel, then grate carrot.
- Add vanilla baking mix, 1/2 tsp cinnamon and 1/2 tsp Pumpkin Pie Spice Mix to a large bowl, then whisk to combine.
- Add eggs, 1/2 cup oil and 2/3 cup water to the large bowl, then whisk to combine. Add grated carrot and pecans, then stir with a spatula until combined.
- Transfer cake batter to the prepared baking dish.
- Bake in the middle of the oven until golden-brown and a knife inserted into the centre comes out mostly clean, 40-50 min. (TIP: Take cake out of the oven when a few moist crumbs still stay attached to knife!)
- Allow cake to cool in the pan for 10 min, then, using the parchment overhang, remove from the pan and place onto a wire rack to cool completely. (TIP: You can place cake in the fridge to help it cool down faster!)
- Meanwhile, add 1 tbsp icing sugar to a small bowl. Add coconut and toss to combine.
- Add softened butter and remaining icing sugar to a large bowl. Beat using a wooden spoon or handheld mixer until smooth, 2-3 min.
- Slowly beat in cream cheese and a pinch of salt until combined, 1-2 min.
- Spread cream cheese frosting over cooled cake.
- Sprinkle coconut mixture over top.
- Cut cake into desired number of slices.
