The BEST carrot cake you’ll ever make! 🥕🍰 My Grandma Peggy’s Outrageous Carrot Cake is no ordinary carrot cake—it’s packed with carrots, pineapple, coconut + walnuts, then soaked in a browned-butter buttermilk glaze and finished with the silkiest cream cheese frosting!

INGREDIENTS: CAKE: 2¾ cups AP flour, 3 tsp baking soda, 2½ tsp cinnamon, ½ tsp ginger, ¼ tsp nutmeg, ¾ tsp kosher salt, 5 large eggs (room temp), 3 cups sugar, 1 cup + 2 Tbsp vegetable oil, 1 cup + 2 Tbsp buttermilk (room temp), 1 Tbsp orange zest, 3 tsp vanilla, 2½ cups grated carrots, 12 oz crushed pineapple (drained), 2 cups sweetened flaked coconut, 1½ cups chopped walnuts GLAZE: ¾ cup salted butter, 1¼ cups sugar, ¾ cup buttermilk, 2 Tbsp honey, 1½ tsp baking soda FROSTING: 1 cup salted butter (room temp), 22 oz cream cheese (room temp), 3 tsp vanilla, 8 cups confectioners’ sugar (sifted) DIRECTIONS: Heat oven to 350°F. Grease three 8-inch cake pans; line bottoms with parchment and grease again. Sift flour, baking soda, spices + salt. Beat eggs, sugar, oil, buttermilk, zest + vanilla until smooth. On low, gradually add dry ingredients just until combined. Fold in carrots, pineapple, coconut + walnuts. Divide among pans. Bake 35-45 min, rotating halfway, until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool in pans 10 min; turn onto racks set over a baking sheet. Glaze: Melt butter over medium heat until golden brown + nutty. Reduce heat; carefully stir in sugar, buttermilk, honey + baking soda. Bring to a boil over medium-high; cook, stirring often, until deep caramel color. Evenly pour over warm cakes; cool completely. Frosting: Beat butter + cream cheese until smooth, about 3 min. Beat in vanilla. With mixer off, add sugar ½ cup at a time, mixing on low after each addition. Beat medium-high 30 sec. Evenly frost each layer, then insert skewers to secure. Refrigerate 30 min. Apply final coat, remove skewers, then smooth over holes. Garnish with coconut + walnuts. #carrotcake #cakerecipe #baking #dessert #thebuckheadbaker

The BEST apple cake you’ll ever make! 🍎✨ My Grandma Peggy passed down hundreds of her recipes to me, and this apple cake is one of her very best. Made with grated Granny Smith apples, fresh orange juice, walnuts, sweetened coconut, and a buttery buttermilk glaze, it’s the perfect apple cake! Save this recipe - and sign up to get them in your email (link in bio!) INGREDIENTS: Cake: 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tsp baking soda, 1¼ tsp ground cinnamon (divided), 2 cups granulated sugar, 3 large eggs (room temp), 1¼ cups vegetable oil, 1 tsp vanilla, ¼ cup freshly squeezed orange juice (about 1 medium orange), 2 cups grated unpeeled Granny Smith apples (about 2 large apples), 1 cup chopped walnuts, 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut, 1 tbsp confectioners’ sugar (for dusting). Buttermilk Glaze: 1 cup granulated sugar, 8 tbsp salted butter, ½ tsp baking soda, ½ cup buttermilk. DIRECTIONS: Preheat the oven to 325°F. Grease and flour a standard Bundt pan. Whisk together the flour, baking soda, and 1 teaspoon of the cinnamon. In the bowl of electric mixer fitted with paddle, beat the sugar, eggs, oil, vanilla, and orange juice until combined. With mixer on low, add dry ingredients just until incorporated. Fold in apples, walnuts, and coconut, then spoon batter into prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 1 hour 15-20 min, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in pan for 15 min, then invert onto wire rack set over baking sheet. Puncture the top all over with a skewer to create deep holes for the glaze to soak into. For the glaze, combine the sugar, butter, baking soda, and buttermilk in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture comes to a boil, about 4-5 min. It should be foamy and begin to turn light brown. Pour the hot glaze over the warm cake. If desired, combine the confectioners’ sugar with the remaining ¼ teaspoon cinnamon and dust over the top. Let cake rest for at least 1 hr before serving. #applecake #baking #bakingrecipe #dessert #thebuckheadbaker
