- Beat the eggs, granulated sugar, brown sugar, oil, buttermilk, vanilla, and pineapple together in a large bowl.

BUTTERMILK CARROT CAKE
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350℉ (180℃). Generously grease two 9 inch cake pans; set aside. Sift flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt together; set aside. In a large bowl, beat eggs. Add oil, buttermilk, sugar and vanilla; mix well. Add flour mixture, pineapple, carrots and walnuts; stir well. Pour into cake pans, bake for 55 minutes or until wooden tooth pick inserted in center comes out clean. While cake is baking, prepare Buttermilk Glaze. Remove cake from oven and slowly pour glaze over hot cake. Cool cake in pan until glaze is totally absorbed, about 15 minutes. Turn out of pans, and cool completely. Prepare Cream Cheese Frosting; frost top of one layer first, then set the other layer on top of that, frost sides and top. Refrigerate until frosting is set. BUTTERMILK GLAZE: In a small saucepan, combine sugar, baking soda, buttermilk, butter and corn syrup. Bring to a boil. Cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. CREAM CHEESE FROSTING: Cream butter and cream cheese until fluffy. Add vanilla, powdered sugar, orange juice and grated peel. Mix until smooth.

GRANDMA'S CARROT CAKE
This recipe has been a favorite in our family for three generations. 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!! Be certain to reduce the baking temperature to 325 degrees F(165 degrees C) if using a glass baking pan.

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.
