Preparation

Step 1

Heat the oven to 350 and grease/flour two 9" cake pans. Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt into a medium bowl. In a large bowl beat sugar, oil and eggs until well blended. Beat the two mixtures together. Add carrots and coconut. Divide between two pans and bake for 40-45 minutes. Cool on wire wracks.

Frosting

Add all the ingredients to my food processor and mixed. I had to add at least a cup more powdered sugar to make it thick enough.
