How to Make Gluten Free Coconut Carrot Cake With Cream Cheese Icing

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together Pamela's Baking & Pancake Mix, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  3. Add the shredded carrots, coconut, vegetable oil, eggs, and yogurt (or pumpkin/applesauce substitute). Mix until just combined.
  4. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  5. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before frosting.
  7. While the cake is cooling, prepare the cream cheese frosting: Beat together the softened cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  8. Once the cake is completely cool, frost the top with the cream cheese frosting.
