Moonshine Carrot Cake

I modified my World Famous Carrot Cake (my world is kinda small, so being famous is pretty easy!) and added a little moonshine.

Ingredients

Cake

• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 1/2 cups white granulated sugar
• 4 large eggs
• 3/4 cups vegetable oil
• 3/4 cup whole buttermilk
• 1/4 cup Old Forge Distillery Oatmeal Cookie Moonshine
• 2 1/2 cups grated carrot
• 8 oz crushed pineapple, drained
• 1/2 cup shredded coconut
• 1 cup chopped pecans

Moonshine Buttercream Frosting

• 2 sticks butter, room temperature butter
• 2 8oz boxes of cream cheese, room temperature
• 2 tablespoons Old Forge Distillery Oatmeal Cookie Moonshine
• 5 cups powdered sugar

Garnish

• 1/4 cup shredded coconut soaked in 2 tablespoons Old Forge Distillery Oatmeal Cookie Moonshine
• 1/2 cup chopped pecans

Instructions

1. Spray and line your pans. Sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl. Mix the sugar and eggs until well combined. Add the vegetable oil, buttermilk, and moonshine and combine well. Add in the dry mixture a little at a time until all is combined and then add the carrot, pineapple, coconut, and pecans. Mix until fully incorporated.
2. Separate equally into your prepared pans and bake in a preheated 350-degree oven on the middle rack for 35-45 minutes. Test for doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center. If it comes out clean they are done. You will also see the sides of the cake begin to pull away from the pan a bit when they are done. 
3. Remove from oven and cool on a rack for 10-15 minutes. Run a knife gently around the edges of the pans and turn out the cake. Immediately remove the parchment liner from the bottom of the cake so it does not stick. If you wait until fully cooled, it can be difficult to remove. Let cakes cool completely before frosting and garnishing.
