How to Make Carrot Coconut Brownies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x9 inch baking pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon baking powder, ¼ teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg.
  3. Set aside.
  4. In a large bowl, cream together ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  5. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  6. Grate 1 cup carrots and add to the wet ingredients. Stir in the dry ingredients until just combined.
  7. Fold in 1 cup shredded sweetened coconut, ½ cup chopped walnuts, and ½ cup raisins.
  8. Gently mix until everything is incorporated.
  9. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  10. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  11. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before frosting.
  12. Prepare the Orange Cream Cheese Frosting:
  13. In a medium bowl, beat together 8 ounces cream cheese (softened), ¼ cup orange juice, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of orange zest until smooth.
  14. Gradually add 2-3 cups powdered sugar, beating until light and fluffy.
  15. Frost the cooled brownies and let set in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
  16. Cut into squares and serve.
