Grandma's Carrot Cake

Servings:

This recipe for grandma's carrot cake has been a favorite in our family for three generations. Different from traditional carrot cake, 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 dish.

  2. 2 Sift flour, baking soda, and cinnamon together in a bowl; set aside.

  4. 4 Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 45 minutes. While still warm, poke holes in cake with a fork.
  5. 5 For the glaze: Combine sugar, butter, buttermilk, and vanilla in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat and cook 5 minutes. Pour glaze over warm cake, then allow to cool completely.
