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.

GRANDMA'S CARROT CAKE



Grandma's Carrot Cake image

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 WITH BUTTERMILK GLAZE



Carrot Cake With Buttermilk Glaze image

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 CARROT CAKE WITH GLAZE



Buttermilk Carrot Cake With Glaze image

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.

Tips:

  • For a moist and flavorful carrot cake, use freshly grated carrots and buttermilk.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter cake.
  • Gradually add the eggs, one at a time, to the butter and sugar mixture. This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Mix the dry ingredients together in a separate bowl before adding them to the wet ingredients. This will help to ensure that the ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the cake cooks evenly.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

Carrot cake is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. This recipe for carrot cake with buttermilk glaze is easy to follow and results in a moist, flavorful cake that is sure to be a hit. With its simple ingredients and delicious taste, this carrot cake is a must-try for any baker.
