2. In separate bowl, combine flours, salt, cinnamon, baking soda, and baking powder. Mix well. Add coconut and carrots. Fold wet into dry and mix.

3. Spray two 9x13-inch baking pans with spray release cooking spray. Pour half of the mixture into each pan. Bake at 350° for roughly 25 minutes. (Poke a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean and warm, it is done). Let cool.

Frosting

1. Slightly soften cream cheese and butter in microwave.

Candied Carrot Garnish

• 3 cups thinly julienne carrots, 3 inches long (use a mandoline if you have one)
• 3 Tbsp sugar

1. Toss carrots in sugar and coat well.

2. In a small saucepot or tall sauté pan, bring 1-1/2 inches of oil to 300°. Add carrots and fry until they’re light orange (about 3 minutes). Drain carrots on paper towels or a cloth and pull apart with tongs or a fork to shape the carrots as desired. Place on individual portions of cake.
