CAKE:
2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, pudding mix, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice and ginger.
3
Mix well.
4
Slowly add the orange juice and oil and mix until well blended.
5
Once this batter is well blended, add the carrots, raisins, coconut and orange zest.
6
Blend well.
7
Pour the batter evenly into 2 cake pans (9 inch) which have been well coated with Baker's Joy or similar coating spray with flour.
8
Bake at 250 degrees for 45-50 minutes (this allows the cakes to rise more evenly by using the lower temp). They are done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out cleanly.
9
Cool 10 minutes on a wire rack.
10
Transfer the first layer to your cake plate and top that layer with about 1 cup of frosting.
11
Place the 2nd layer on top and ice cake with the remaining frosting.
12
Garnish with chopped walnuts and orange curls.
13
Chill if not serving immediately.
14
FROSTING:
15
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese and butter and whip for about 3 minutes until light and fluffy.
16
Add the orange juice, orange extract and orange zest and mix well.
17
Slowly add the confectioners sugar, 2 cups at a time and mix well between additions.
18
Once the frosting has reached a good spreading consistency, frost your cake according to the directions.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
