Tips:
- Use a food processor to quickly and easily grate the carrots and apples.
- Be sure to measure the flour correctly. Too much flour will make the cake dry and crumbly.
- If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the cake tough.
- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting to set properly.
- If you don't have cream cheese frosting, you can use your favorite frosting recipe.
- Decorate the cake with chopped walnuts, pecans, or sprinkles.

Diane's Apple Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting is a delicious and moist cake that is perfect for any occasion.
