Ingredients

A bowl of white flour.
1 ½ cups organic all-purpose flour
coconut flakes
⅓ cup organic unsweetened finely shredded coconut
baking powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
Coarse Sea Salt
½ teaspoon fine sea salt
Ground Cinnamon
½ teaspoon organic ground cinnamon
A piece of ginger root.
¼ teaspoonorganic ground ginger
A small bowl of sugar.
1 cup organic cane sugar
carrots
6 ounces organic carrots, grated
pineapple
½ cup organic pineapple chunks
powdered sugar
1 ½ cups organic powdered sugar, sifted

Directions

preheat: Preheat the oven to 350 F. Line a 1-pound loaf pan with parchment paper, letting it fold over the sides to make a sling for easier removal.
mix: Make the batter: In a large mixing bowl, add the flour, coconut, baking powder, sea salt, cinnamon and ginger and swirl together. Add the cane sugar, eggs, carrots and ghee. Stir with a wooden spoon or whisk until the batter comes together. This can also be done with a stand mixer or hand mixer, but it’s just as easy in one bowl!
fold: Fold in the pineapple chunks with a spatula. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan.
bake: Bake for 1 hour 15 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool completely in the pan.
mix frosting: Make the frosting: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or using a hand mixer), add the cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar and milk. Mix on low to combine, then mix on high until light and fluffy.
frost: Remove the cooled carrot loaf from the pan and frost the top.
store: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
notes: Notes: You can substitute 1 stick Organic Valley® Butter for the 1/2 cup ghee, if desired. High Altitude: Bake for 1 hour or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean.
