Coconut Flour Carrot Cake - GF

My sister that hates any "healthy desserts" loved this cake. It is moist and yummy!

Gluten Free Carrot Cake

1/2 C butter, melted

1/2 C coconut milk

12 eggs

1 tsp vanilla

1 C sweetener (I used 1/2 palm sugar and 1/2 agave)

1 tsp salt

1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

1 tsp ground nutmeg

1/2 tsp ground cloves

1 C sifted coconut flour

1 tsp baking powder

2 C finely grated carrots

1 C crushed pineapple, drained

1/2 C nuts, chopped

Frosting

Combine butter, coconut milk, eggs and vanilla. In a separate bowl mix together sweeteners and spices; stir into wet mixture. Combine coconut flour with baking powder and whisk into batter until there are no lumps. Fold in carrots, pineapple and nuts. Pour batter equally into 2 greased 8 or 9x1 1/2 - inch layer cake pans or one 9x9x2-inch pan. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until knife inserted into center comes out clean. Cool. Cover with Cream Cheese frosting.
