Best Carrot Cake Recipe In The World Biography
Source(google.com.pk)There’s nothing quite like a moist piece of carrot cake speckled with a variety of coconut, nuts, dried fruit and carrots. Carrot cake truly does make my heart pitter-patter. And what I love most of all is that the bits of shredded carrots make the entire thing healthy, right? Right?
Regardless of whether that last statement is actually true or not, there’s plenty of reasons—healthiness aside—to make this carrot cake. Like its appropriate title, this was in fact the best carrot cake I’ve had to date. Big-ups to TK member Kpurwin (who adapted it from Southern Living) for providing us with such an honest and delightful recipe.
To kick off this carrot cake endeavor, you’re going to start by lining (and greasing) your cake pans with wax paper. This makes for easy carrot cake extraction later on.
Time to get all of the dry ingredients together: all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Do a little sift action and set aside.
Lastly, add the buttermilk. And then, using a hand mixer, beat everything together until completely blended.
Add the flour mixture in a few batches and beat, on low, until juuuust combined.
Let’s be honest. The best part about carrot cake is all the stuff it’s studded with. Let’s start with the coconut and pecans. And if you’re all out, substituting almonds is totally a good idea.
Add the grated carrots and cubed pineapple. Everyone will thank you later for this.
Transfer the batter to your two lined and greased cake pans. That’s some gorgeous looking batter, isn’t it?
Stick it in a preheated 350ºF oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until an inserted wooden pick comes out clean.
While it’s baking, turn your attention to the buttermilk glaze. It’s a breeze. Add everything to a saucepan (minus the vanilla) and cook until it reaches a boil and just mix. And then add the vanilla at the end.
Right when your cakes come out of the oven, pour the buttermilk glaze over them. This will give them a good dose of extra awesomeness.
ou’re gonna wanna spread it all around evenly, making sure the entire cake is coated and smothered in it.
Let the cake cool completely and come to room temperature. While it’s doing its cooling-down action, you can get started on the cream cheese frosting.
Pretty standard stuff. Just add everything to a bowl and beat until completely smooth.
After your cake is done cooling, you’re going to transfer the first layer of the cake to a big plate or cake stand. You can line the cake stand by placing squares of parchment underneath the cake. Then when you’re done icing your cake, all you have to do is remove the parchment squares, and tadaaa! Clean cake stand.
Place a big scoop of icing on top of the cake. This would be a perfect time for an off-set spatula, but since I have a kitchen that eats things, my big spatula had to do.
Just be sure to lay it on thick! You want a good layer of icing in between the two layers.
Gently place the second cake atop the first one.
Evenly distribute icing on the top and on the sides. If you want to get fancy, you can stick this in the fridge so the icing can set and then add on one more even layer of icing.
OR you could be lazy and, taking a knife, swirl on a second layer of frosting.
Take the parchment from the sides and you’re set to present, eat, and devour your carrot cake.
As promised, this recipe really is for the best carrot cake ever. There’s loads of texture, plenty of moistness and the combination of the buttermilk glaze and cream cheese frosting absolutely result in the best carrot cake of all time. This carrot cake deserves a place in everyone’s recipe box/arsenal.
Thank you Katy and Christine for creating two towers of heaven! Visit their site Young and Hungry for more of their recipes.
A buttermilk glaze quickly poured over hot cake layers and allowed to cool results in the moistest cake you’ve ever had! It’s finished, appropriately, with a cream cheese icing.
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line two 8-inch (or 9-inch) round cakepans with waxed paper. Lightly grease and flour the waxed paper. Set pans aside.
Stir together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
Beat eggs, sugar, oil, buttermilk, and vanilla at medium speed with an electric mixer until smooth. Add the flour mixture, beating at low speed until blended. Fold in grated carrot, pineapple, coconut, and pecans. Pour batter into prepared cake pans.
Bake at 350 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in the center come out clean. Drizzle Buttermilk Glaze evenly over layers; cool in pans on wire racks for 15 minutes. Remove from pans, and cool completely on wire racks. Spread Cream Cheese Frosting between layers and on the top and sides of cake.
Bring sugar, baking soda, buttermilk, butter or margarine, and light corn syrup to a boil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Boil, stirring often, for 4 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla
Beat butter and cream cheese at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy. Add powdered sugar and vanilla; beat until smooth.

Guys, I can't even explain to you how amazingly perfect this carrot cake is. It's moist. It's sweet. The texture is flawless. It's quick. It's easy.
Wait, wait, wait. Doesn't this all sound a little familiar? Well, that's only because it is. Yes, this carrot cake cupcake recipe is based on the world famous recipe for Grandma's banana bread muffins.
Don't believe me that they're world famous? Read the 100+ comments for yourself. They truly are the best. And these carrot cake cupcakes are no different.
If you follow me on Instagram, you'll realize that there's something else familiar about this recipe. I made it as a three layer cake for my cousin's baby shower. My sisters were the ones who invented the marshmallow bunnies. Aren't they adorable? And they're easy too. I made them in like five milliseconds.
Believe it or not, this moist, tender, fine-crumbed cake that you see before you is actually made with gluten free flour. I'm posting them over on Yammie's Glutenfreedom too, but I thought that this particular recipe was just too amazing to let you miss. Besides, you don't have to make them gluten free. Regular flour works fine too.

This recipe makes one dozen cupcakes or probably one 9 inch round. I doubled this recipe to fill 3 8-inch pans.
cup finely grated carrot, pretty firmly packed
1 batch of Fluffy Cream Cheese Frosting recipe below
Marshmallow Bunnies see instructions below
Preheat oven to 375ºF if making cupcakes or 350ºF if making cake. Grease and flour cake pans or line cupcake tins with paper.
Mix together the eggs, sugar, oil, and vanilla. Mix together the dry ingredients and add to the wet, mixing just until combined. Add the carrots and stir until combined.
Bake in prepared pans. 20-25 minutes for cupcakes or 30-35 minutes for cake or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
*Feel free to modify any of the spices. You can leave them out all together or double them all based on how "spicy" you like your cake. This is very mild, but flavorful.
Fluffy Cream Cheese Frosting:
8 oz. cream cheese, slightly softened
1 cup (two sticks) butter, slightly softened
2 teaspoons vanilla
4-6 cups powdered sugar (Depending on desired thickness. For the frosting pictured I used 4 cups)
Beat together the cream cheese and butter. Add the vanilla. Add the powdered sugar 1/2 cup at a time until desired thickness is reached. Beat on high speed for five minutes, until fluffy.
Marshmallow Bunnies:
Big marshmallows
Little marshmallows
About 1/4 cup of melted chocolate
Slivered almonds
Stick two almonds into a big marshmallow for ears. Use a toothpick to draw a face on with melted chocolate. Glue a mini marshmallow on for the tail with more melted chocolate.
In large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, salt and nutmeg. In separate bowl, beat together granulated and brown sugars, eggs, oil and vanilla until smooth; pour over flour mixture and stir just until moistened. Stir in carrots, pineapple and pecans. Spread in prepared pan.
Bake in centre of 350°F 180°C oven for 40 minutes or until cake tester inserted in centre comes out clean. Let cool in pan on rack. Make-ahead: Cover with plastic wrap and store at room temperature for up to 2 days. Or ovenwrap with heavy duty foil and freeze for up to 2 weeks; let thaw before continuing.
Icing:
In bowl, beat cream cheese with butter until smooth. Beat in vanilla. Beat in icing sugar, one-third at a time, until smooth. Spread over top of cake. Make-ahead: Cover loosely and refrigerate for up to I day.
Set timer for 5 minutes less than the time specified in recipe, check cake then for the following signs. If the cake is not done, return it to the oven to finish baking.
When is the cake done: fully baked cake will spring back when touched in the center. The cake also draws away from the side of the pan, and a cake tester (a toothpick of skewer works well) inserted in the center comes out clean. Also trust your sense of smell: the fresh aroma of butter and sugar wafting out of the oven can be the signal to check the cake.
When cakes emerge from the oven, their structure is set, but the set is still fragile. Let cakes stand in pans on rack for time specified in each recipe, usually 15 to 20 minutes. Run knife around edge of cake, then place rack over pan and invert cake onto rack to cool completely.
Best Moist Carrot Cake you will ever try. I like to add coconut and pineapple to mine, but you can substitute in any ingredients you like with similar textures moisture contents in equal parts.
Someone suggested adding dates, which I think is a fabulous idea… Play around and create your own spin on a classic recipe
First you will prepare a browned butter. Place all of the butter in a sauce pan and heat on the stove until the butter has melted and begins to lightly brown. The butter will have a nutty, toasted aroma when it is browned and you will notice the bits of milk solids that tend to “burn” fast and fall to the bottom of the pot. Once you have achieved a nice browned butter, slowly pour the browned butter into another bowl, allowing only the oil to collect in the bowl while the butter solids stay behind in the sauce pan. Discard the butter solid residue.
Sift together the next 4 ingredients in a large mixing bowl, and set aside.
In a another separate bowl combine both sugars and the eggs with the vanilla and whisk very well.
Add the reserved slightly cooled browned butter.
Add the flour mixture all at once and mix just until it is all combined well.
You can now add the carrots, coconut and pineapple and mix well.
Pour into prepared cake pans and bake immediately.
Cake layers will take approximately 35-45 minutes. for more clarity on baking times.
Once you have cooled your cake layers completely, you can wrap them for Freezing Cake Layers or go ahead and watch the video below for how to decorate the Carrot Cake like I do at Woodland Bakery.
