    Rosalie Williams made the best carrot cake when I was a child. It was her specialty at church dinners. As an adult, I got her recipe because I remembered how great it was. It doesn't have a cream cheese icing but rather a delicious buttermilk glaze. I don't have any photos but plan to make this for a family gathering and will take pictures. This recipe is for a cake that serves 8-10 people.

    Ingredients

    • 1 1/2 cups of oil
    • 2 cups of sugar
    • 6 eggs

    • 1 tbsp. of black walnut flavoring
    • 1 tbsp. of vanilla extract
    • 2 cups of self-rising flour
    • 2 cups of shredded carrots
    • 1 pkg. of black walnuts
    • 1 cup of buttermilk
    • 3/4 cup of sugar (for the glaze)
    • 4 tbsp. of white syrup
    • 1 1/2 tsp. of baking soda
