Ingredients:

Serving

3 cups whole wheat pastry flour
1 1/4 cups brown sugar , packed
1 tbsp baking soda
2 tsp cinnamon
1 1/2 tsp ground ginger
3/4 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp salt
1 (15 oz) can sweet potato puree (i used the insides of about 2 medium baked sweet potatoes mashed with a little soy milk)
1 cup water
1/4 cup canola oil
2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
2 tsp vanilla
2/3 cup earth balance margarine
4 cups powdered sugar
1/4 cup soymilk
2 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup unsweetened coconut, shredded, toasted and divided
1/2 cup chopped pecans, toasted and divided

Directions:

Preheat then oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease two 8-inch cake pans. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt. Add sweet-potato puree, water, oil, vinegar, and vanilla and whisk well to form a smooth batter.
Evenly divide the batter between prepared cake pans. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow cakes to cool for 15 minutes in the pans, then remove and allow them to cool completely before frosting.
For the frosting, beat margarine with an electric mixer for 30 seconds in a large bowl. With the beaters going, slowly add powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla and beat for 2 to 3 minutes until light and fluffy. Scrape down teh sides of the bowl and beat an additional 30 seconds. For the filling, transfer one-third of the frosting to a small bowl, add 1/4 cup each of the coconut and pecans and stir well to combine.
To assemble the cake, place one layer on a serving platter. Spread the filling evenly on top of the first layer. Place the remaining layer on the first. Frost the sides and top of the cake with frosting and then sprinkle the remaining coconut and pecans over the top.
