pinch the ground cloves
For the icing:
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup dulce de leche (or caramel sauce)
1 cup powdered sugar
Instructions:
For the carrot cake:
Mix the carrots, pineapple, coconut, oil, eggs and sugars before incorporating the mixture of flour, baking powder, salt and spices.
Pour into a greased or parchment-lined 9-inch-diameter cake pan (or springform pan) and bake in a preheated 350F/180C oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 30 to 40 minutes, before allowing to cool.
Spread the frosting, slice and enjoy!
For the icing:
Combine cream cheese, leech dulce and enough powdered sugar to thicken frosting to desired consistency. The more powdered sugar you add, the thicker and less runny the icing will be.
