# Instrucțiuni:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 175°C. Grease and flour a 23×33 cm baking pan or two 8-inch round cake pans. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Set aside. In a large bowl, beat the vegetable oil, applesauce, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Fold in the grated carrots, crushed pineapple, shredded coconut, and nuts (if using).
02 -
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan(s). Bake for 40-45 minutes (for a 9×13-inch pan) or 30-35 minutes (for round pans), or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool in the pan(s) for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
03 -
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and butter together until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, beating until well combined. Stir in the vanilla extract and add milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, if needed for a spreadable consistency.
04 -
Spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the cooled cake. Decorate with additional shredded coconut or chopped nuts, if desired.
