# Instructions:
01 -
Heat the oven to 175°C (350°F) and prepare two 9-inch round pans by greasing and dusting them with flour.
02 -
In a mixing bowl, stir together cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, baking soda, baking powder, and flour.
03 -
Using a larger bowl, mix the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and oil. Add eggs one by one, then stir in vanilla.
04 -
Slowly pour the dry ingredients into the wet ones while stirring. Once mixed, fold in coconut, chopped walnuts, apple shreds, and carrot shreds.
05 -
Split the batter evenly into the prepared pans. Let them bake for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean when poked in the center. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
06 -
Whisk the cream cheese together with the butter until smooth. Add powdered sugar bit by bit, then mix in the vanilla. If it feels too thick, splash in milk a little at a time until it's just right.
07 -
Spread the frosting onto the cooled cakes, stacking them on top of each other. Sprinkle diced fresh apples over the top for decoration.
