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.

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!
