GLUTEN-FREE COCONUT CARROT CAKE WITH CREAM CHEESE ICING
This is a recipe that I got from the website of Gluten-Free Goddess. It uses Pamela's Baking & Pancake Mix. I've made it several times and I've gotta say, it's really good. My wheat eating DD even asked for it for her birthday. If you are GF/CF you can use canned pumpkin or applesauce in place of the yogurt and 2 cups of your flour mix plus 2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1 teaspoon of baking soda.

Steps:
- Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Grease a 9" spring-form cake pan.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs; add the oil and beat; add the brown sugar and beat until smooth.
- Beat in the yogurt, vanilla, cinnamon and spice.
- Add in the baking mix and beat until combined. (The batter should be a bit thicker than wheat flour batter.).
- Add in the coconut, carrots, raisins, and nuts; stir with a wooden spoon to combine.
- Spread the batter evenly in the cake pan; and place the pan in the center of a pre-heated oven.
- Bake until the cake is firm, and a wooden pick inserted into the center emerges clean, about 40-45 minutes (or longer if necessary).
- Cool on a wire rack and frost with cream cheese icing.
- For cream cheese icing, beat the cream cheese and butter until fluffy.
- Add the vanilla.
- Add the powdered sugar a cup at a time; squeeze a little lemon (or other citrus) juice into the frosting and beat until smooth.
- Add more sugar or juice as necessary.
- Frost cooled cake.
