Blue-Ribbon Winning Carrot Cake with Buttermilk Glaze and Cream Cheese Frosting

Carrot Cake (photo)

This is one of those cake that only comes around once-in-a-lifetime, and I was lucky enough to have found it and 'made it my own'. Over the years I've tweaked and added
what my family liked and left out what they did not, turning it into the recipe you find below. It's what Mr.P likes to call one of my all day cakes. Between baking and applying the many layers of icing I use to get it to that perfect state, it really does take the better part of a day to make - but SO worth it. It truly is the best carrot cake you are ever going to come across and it's a favorite in my crowd, one that is requested over and over. And if Mr.P is lucky enough we have leftovers to bring home for his late night snacking. Enjoy!
