BUTTERMILK-GLAZED PINEAPPLE-CARROT CAKE
This easy pineapple-carrot cake first ran in The New York Times Magazine in the spring of 1972, and it is one of the recipes that former Times columnist Joyce Purnick clipped and saved for decades in her recipe file. This is a snacking cake, mighty sweet, which benefits from a cup of coffee or another bitter drink to cut through the sugar. It might remind you of Jamaican black cake. Pour some rum on top if you so desire.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees.
- Sift the flour, baking soda, salt, sugar and cinnamon together in a bowl. Beat the eggs with the buttermilk, oil and vanilla, and add to the dry ingredients all at once. Mix until smooth.
- Fold in the pineapple, grated carrot, nuts and coconut, and pour into a greased and floured 9-by-13-inch baking pan. Bake 45 minutes or until the center springs back when lightly touched.
- About 15 minutes before the cake is done, make the glaze. Combine all the ingredients except the vanilla in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring, over medium heat and boil gently five minutes.
- Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla.
- Take the cake out of the oven and immediately prick it all over with a fork and slowly pour the buttermilk glaze over the top. Cool in pan. Cut into slices.
Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your cake will taste. Try to use organic carrots and buttermilk for the best flavor.
- Don't Overmix: Overmixing the batter can make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake at the Right Temperature: The cake should be baked at 350°F (175°C). If the oven is too hot, the cake will brown too quickly and the inside will be undercooked. If the oven is too cool, the cake will take too long to bake and will be dry.
- Let the Cake Cool Completely: Before you glaze the cake, let it cool completely. This will help the glaze set properly and prevent it from running off the cake.
- Use a Good Quality Glaze: The glaze is what gives the carrot cake its signature flavor. Make sure you use a good quality glaze that is made with real butter and cream cheese.
Conclusion:
This buttermilk glazed carrot cake is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist and flavorful crumb, sweet and tangy glaze, and crunchy pecans, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
