Method
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat a half sheet pan with nonstick spray and parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, mix both sugars, melted butter, melted coconut oil, eggs, and vanilla together on medium speed until smooth (about 1 minute).
- Add cinnamon, cloves, baking soda, baking powder, and salt, and continue mixing for 30 seconds, scraping the sides of the bowl as necessary. Mix in both flours until just combined.
- Fold in carrots, pineapple, coconut, and pecans.
- Pour batter into prepared half sheet pan and bake for 22-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool.
- In another mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and butter together on medium speed until combined.
- With the mixer on low, slowly add the powdered sugar one cup at a time, scraping sides of the bowl as necessary. Once incorporated, turn the speed up to medium and mix for 1-2 minutes until smooth and creamy.
- Using a round biscuit or cookie cutter slightly smaller than your jar diameter, cut out cake rounds.
- Transfer frosting to a piping bag or suitable container.
- Layer jars with one cake round, a layer of frosting, another cake round, and additional frosting. Repeat until the jar is almost full, lightly pressing down after each addition.
- Top each jar with toasted pecans or walnuts.
- Screw on lid and consume within 2 days, or refrigerate for up to 5 days. Jars can be frozen for up to 3 months.
