Moist Gooey Carrot Cake
Cake:
2 c. all-purpose flour
2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. table salt
2 tsp. ground cinnamon
3 large eggs
2 c. sugar
3/4 c. vegetable oil
3/4 c. buttermilk
2 tsp. vanilla extract
2 c. grated carrot
1 8-oz. can crushed pineapple, drained
2/3 c. coconut
1 c. chopped walnuts
2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. table salt
2 tsp. ground cinnamon
3 large eggs
2 c. sugar
3/4 c. vegetable oil
3/4 c. buttermilk
2 tsp. vanilla extract
2 c. grated carrot
1 8-oz. can crushed pineapple, drained
2/3 c. coconut
1 c. chopped walnuts
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and line with parchment paper (don't skip this!) 3, 9 inch cake pans. And then grease the parchment paper. Set aside.
In a mixer, beat all the wet ingredients together on high speed till smooth. Add in the dry ingredients. Beat on low speed until smooth. Fold in the carrots, pineapple, coconut and nuts. Divide the batter between the pans and bake for 25-30 minutes or until you touch the middle with your finger and it springs back a little.
While the cakes are baking make the buttermilk glaze:
Buttermilk Glaze:
1 c. sugar1 1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 c. buttermilk
1/2 c. butter
1 Tbsp. light corn syrup
1 tsp. vanilla extract
In a large saucepan combine the above ingredients. Bring to a boil for 4 minutes over medium heat. The glaze should be a golden color.
Wen the cakes are done, flip them onto a wire rack and drizzle the glaze over the cakes. Then cool the cakes completely for at least 2 hours.
Make the cream cheese frosting. Jeremy prefers the frosting doubled so you can do extra thick layers.
Cream Cheese Frosting:
11 oz. cream cheese, softened
1/2 c. real butter, softened
3/4-1 lb. powdered sugar
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 c. real butter, softened
3/4-1 lb. powdered sugar
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
Combine butter, cream cheese, and vanilla and beat until combined and fluffy. Add 3/4 lb. powdered sugar and beat on high speed until fluffy. Add more powdered sugar to taste.
Put a dab of frosting on the bottom of your serving plate to hold the cake in place. Put the first layer down, frost, second layer, frost, third layer. Then frost the top and sides. Cool in the refrigerator for at least a few hours before you need to serve it otherwise it will fall apart when you try to cut it.
