Ingredients

1/2 cup unsweetened coconut
6 ounces crushed pineapple with juice (one 8 ounce can)
1/2 cup butter or margarine
1 teaspoon powdered stevia extract
3 tablespoons date sugar
2 eggs, warmed to room temperature and beaten
1/3 cup nonfat plain yogurt
1/4 cup soy milk or milk

2 tablespoons soy flour
2 teaspoons baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions:

• Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Oil an 8 to 9-inch springform pan or a 6 x 10-inch cake pan.
• Soak the coconut in the pineapple and juice. Use all the juice from an 8-ounce can of pineapple but only 6 ounces of the pineapple. Set aside.
• Soften and cream the butter or margarine in a large mixing bowl. Cream in the stevia extract and the date sugar. Gradually cream in the beaten eggs. Don’t worry if the butter separates.
• Thin the yogurt with the soymilk or milk and add to the butter mixture. Mix in the vanilla and maple flavoring. Stir in the walnuts, the coconut-pineapple mixture, and carrots.
• Sift the flours, leavenings, cinnamon, and salt together twice in a separate bowl.
• Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring just until blended. The batter will be stiff.
• Spoon the batter into the cake pan, and bake for 1 hour. Cool in the pan.
• Release the pan and top with Cream Cheese Frosting.
