CARROT CAKE SUPREME WITH BUTTERMILK GLAZE AND CREAM CHEESE FROST

Carrot Cake Supreme With Buttermilk Glaze and Cream Cheese Frost image

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.

Ingredients

4 eggs
1 c sugar
1 c brown sugar
1 c oil
1 1/4 c all purpose flour
1 c whole wheat flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
2 tsp cinnamon
1 can(s) (8 oz) crushed pineapple, drained
1 jar(s) carrot baby food
2 c grated or finely chopped carrots
3/4 c chopped pecans
few drops lemon extract
CREAM CHEESE FROSTING
1 pkg (3 oz) cream cheese
1/3 c butter
1 tsp vanilla
2 Tbsp milk
2 c powdered sugar

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking dish. In large bowl, beat eggs until light and lemon colored. Stir together sugar and brown sugar, press out any lumps. Gradually beat into the eggs. Add oil in a thin stream, beating all the while. Stir together flours, salt, baking powder, baking soda and cinnamon. Blend into the egg mixture 1/4 cup at a time. Stir in, in this order: drained pineapple, carrot baby food, carrots and pecans. Add lemon extract. Spread batter in prepared baking dish. Bake at 350 degrees for 55-60 minutes or until cake springs back when lightly touched. Cool in the pan on a wire rack. Frost with Cream Cheese Frosting
2. For Cream Cheese Frosting: Mix, softened cream cheese and butter and blend until smooth. Add vanilla and milk. Stir in powdered sugar beating until smooth.

Tips:

Choose the right carrots: Use fresh, firm carrots for the best flavor and texture. Avoid carrots that are limp or have blemishes.
Grate the carrots finely: This will help them distribute evenly throughout the cake and prevent them from becoming too chunky.
Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Bake the cake in a preheated oven: This will help the cake rise evenly. Make sure the oven is at the right temperature before you put the cake in.
Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help the frosting set properly. If you frost the cake while it's still warm, the frosting may melt and slide off.
Use a cream cheese frosting: Cream cheese frosting is a classic pairing for carrot cake. It's rich, creamy, and slightly tangy, and it perfectly complements the sweet, spicy flavor of the cake.

Conclusion:

Carrot cake is a delicious and versatile dessert that can be enjoyed all year round. With its moist texture, sweet and spicy flavor, and creamy frosting, it's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. Whether you're making it for a special occasion or just because you're craving something sweet, this carrot cake supreme recipe is sure to please.
