Place the eggs and 1 cup brown sugar within the bowl of an electrical mixer and whisk at medium-high pace for 8 minutes, or till thick and doubled in quantity. Mix remaining substances — carrots, almond flour, coconut, dates, salt, spices, baking powder, oil, and vanilla — in a big bowl, tossing to mix. Fold the carrot combination into the overwhelmed egg combination, attempting to deflate the eggs as little as potential, and spoon the combination into your ready cake pan. Easy the highest of the cake in order that it’s stage.
Bake for 50 to 60 minutes however please be aware: A toothpick inserted into the middle will come out clear of batter as early as 35 to 40 minutes however it won’t be baked sufficient (i.e. the crumb could be damp and would possibly even appear just a little underbaked within the heart) until you’re taking it one other 10 to fifteen minutes. The cake is forgiving of what you would possibly suppose is overbaking, even when the edges appear darkish.
Take away cake from oven and instantly run a knife across the cake, to loosen anyplace that could be caught. Let cool for quarter-hour in pan on a rack, then flip it out onto a baking rack, peel off the parchment, and let cake cool proper side-up till it’s at room temperature. I normally hurry this alongside both outdoors on a chilly day or within the fridge.

To frost and beautify: Unfold 2/3 (simply eyeball it) of frosting on cooled cake and unfold it in a skinny, easy layer. Place the remaining frosting in a bag and snip the nook off. Pipe overlapping squiggles across the cake till you’re out of frosting.
Do forward: Hold leftover cake in fridge. It retains (with out seeming dry, hooray) for five to six days.
