03 Method

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spread all the pecans on a baking sheet and bake until toasted, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool slightly, then pulse 1/2 cup in a food processor until very finely chopped, but not ground. Roughly chop the remaining pecans for garnish.
Step 2

For the cream cheese frosting: Meanwhile, combine the cream cheese and butter in a small bowl and beat with a hand mixer until smooth, about 1 minute. Add the sugar, lemon juice, vanilla and salt and beat until incorporated and smooth. Set aside.
Step 3

For the carrot cake: Turn the oven down to 200 degrees F. Preheat a waffle iron to medium-high. Whisk together the finely ground pecans, flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, ginger and salt in a large bowl.
Step 4

Whisk together the oil, milk, lemon zest, vanilla and eggs in another bowl. Stir in the coconut and carrots. Fold the carrot-egg mixture into the flour mixture until just combined (it's ok if there are lumps).
Step 5

Lightly brush the top and bottom of the waffle iron with oil. Fill the waffle iron about three-quarters of the way full (some waffle iron should still be showing). Close the lid gently and cook until the waffle is golden brown and slightly crisp 4 to 6 minutes.
Step 6

Keep the cooked waffles warm in the oven or covered with foil on a plate while you make the remaining waffles.
Step 7

Spread each waffle with the cream cheese frosting, sprinkle with the chopped pecans and dust with cinnamon.
