"Bring all ingredients to room temperature before preparing," Buddy advises.

According to Buddy, only unsalted butter will do here.

"Grate the carrots finely" for this carrot cake, Buddy says.

"Add in the oil and eggs very slowly," Buddy says, "to guarantee it’s all mixed in well."

"Add in equal amounts of ginger and nutmeg as cinnamon if you want to up the spice factor," Buddy explains.

For even more flavor, Buddy suggests, "Add a can of crushed pineapple."

Though it's tempting to quickly frost and devour this impressive cake, Buddy urges, "Wait until the cake cools completely before frosting."

A blanket of from-scratch frosting is just what's needed to complete this dessert. "Use homemade cream cheese frosting for this cake," Buddy notes.
