Instructions

  • In large mixing bowl, combine all cake ingredients. Stir until smooth & pour evening into pre-sprayed layered cake pans.
  • Bake cakes at 350F for roughly 20-30 minutes (depending on how thick your cakes are) or until toothpick is inserted & comes out clean. Let cakes cook completely on cooling rack.
  • While the cakes are cooling, combine all frosting ingredients, except the coconut oil, in a large mixing bowl & blend with a hand mixer on high until smooth.
