CARROT CAKE WITH BUTTERMILK GLAZE
This is Grandma Great's recipe. What makes this cake different from other's posted here is additional coconut and walnuts in the glaze and the technique of broiling the cake with the glaze. The amounts are a little different too. This is by far our favorite carrot cake. If you don't want a cream cheese frosting, this glaze is a perfect compliment to a moist but very dense cake. Do not Beat the cake mix, stir by hand - very important!

BUTTERMILK-GLAZED PINEAPPLE-CARROT CAKE
This easy pineapple-carrot cake first ran in The New York Times Magazine in the spring of 1972, and it is one of the recipes that former Times columnist Joyce Purnick clipped and saved for decades in her recipe file. This is a snacking cake, mighty sweet, which benefits from a cup of coffee or another bitter drink to cut through the sugar. It might remind you of Jamaican black cake. Pour some rum on top if you so desire.

BUTTERMILK CARROT CAKE WITH GLAZE
This is a recipe I found online many years ago from a source I can't recall. I don't personally care for cream cheese icing, so this cake has only a glaze coating. I usually make two batches of the glaze and use it as the only icing. Everyone loves it! Super moist and a different type of carrot cake than most expect. Even better cold the next day.

GRANDMA'S CARROT CAKE
This recipe has been a favorite in our family for three generations. Different from traditional carrot cakes, this cake is extremely moist and flavorful and is topped with a buttermilk glaze while still warm. Try it and I think you will agree that it is the best!! Be certain to reduce the baking temperature to 325 degrees F(165 degrees C) if using a glass baking pan.

CARROT CAKE SUPREME WITH BUTTERMILK GLAZE AND CREAM CHEESE FROST
I found this recipe in a Southern Living cookbook and it is the BEST!!! I am a custom cake baker and decorator and am always hunting for great cake recipes. I know it looks intimidating, as the recipe has 3 parts: Cake, Glaze and Frosting...that's why there's soo many ingredients listed. Every time I make this cake people literally go crazy...I've even had a marriage proposal over this one! Watch out people...you might just get yourself hitched.

Tips:
- Use fresh buttermilk. Fresh buttermilk will give your carrot cake a light and fluffy texture. If you don't have fresh buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
- Grate the carrots finely. Finely grated carrots will distribute evenly throughout the cake and give it a moist texture.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will ensure that the cake is cooked through.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting to set properly.
