Granny's Carrot Cake. 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!! Whisk together flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon; gradually beat into sugar mixture.
Let cake layers cool while the icing is made. Sugar(s) A lot of carrot cake recipes will use fancy brown sugars but I personally prefer to use a mixture of white and brown sugar. The light brown sugar gives the cake a more caramel flavour. You can have Granny's Carrot Cake using 13 ingredients and 10 steps. Here is how you achieve it.
