Carrot cake is a spice cake consisting of carrots, cake batter, and spices that are topped with a traditional cream cheese frosting. It’s a wildly popular cake and is especially beloved during the Easter holiday season.
Carrot Cake has been around for centuries, believe it or not, but was originally introduced as a carrot pudding. According to CarrotMuseium.co.uk, the carrot cake as we know it today was created out of carrot pudding. It was said to be a healthy alternative to sweet desserts, but as you can see this cake is not on the healthy side.
