Ingredients
For the batter of the cake :
1 ½ cups of all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons of baking powder
½ teaspoon of salt
½ teaspoon of cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
½ cup granulated sugar
1 cup brown sugar
3 eggs, room temperature
2/3 cup canola oil
¼ cup shredded coconut flakes
½ cup crushed pineapple

How to Make Dulce De Leche Carrot Cake
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F or 170 degrees C.
In a bowl combine, carrots, pineapple, coconut, vegetable oil, room temperature eggs, and two types of sugar. Mix well until well incorporate and set aside.
In another bowl, combine the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. All of the dry ingredients pour into the wet ingredients and mix well until combined, but be careful not to over mix the batter. Transfer this mixture into already well-greased and lined with parchment paper, round cake tin and bake for about 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.
In a large mixing bowl, place in the cream cheese, dulce de leche, and powdered sugar. Mix until well incorporated, and smooth spread will develop.
Let the cake cool completely and spread the dulce de leche filling on top and sides of the cake. Sprinkle with crushed pecans.
