We first prepare our dry ingredients. In a mixing bowl, sift together the measured flour, baking soda, salt and spices and put aside.

In another bowl, whisk the remaining ingredients until combined. Add the shredded carrots, coconut and walnuts. Stir in a little flour at a time until combined.

Pour into prepared cake pans and bake for 25 minutes. Insert a toothpick. If it comes out clean, it's ready, but if the batter is still wet, give it another couple minutes and check again.

For the frosting, beat softened cream cheese, butter, vanilla and salt until fluffy. Beat in powdered sugar and stir in coconut. Top on cooled cake.
