Cómo preparar Ultimate Carrot Cake
- **Cake:**
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour three 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg, ½ teaspoon ground cloves, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- In a separate bowl, beat together 2 cups granulated sugar, ¾ cup vegetable oil, 4 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 cup buttermilk until smooth.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
- Fold in 2 cups grated carrots, 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans, and ½ cup shredded coconut.
- Divide batter evenly among prepared pans.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cakes cool in pans for 15 minutes before inverting onto wire racks to cool completely.
- **Buttermilk Glaze:**
- In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, combine 1 cup granulated sugar, ½ cup buttermilk, ¼ cup light corn syrup, 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, and a pinch of salt.
- Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, for 4 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Drizzle glaze evenly over the cooled cake layers.
- **Cream Cheese Frosting:**
- In a large bowl, beat together 8 ounces cream cheese (softened), ½ cup unsalted butter (softened), and 4 cups powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
