Carrot cake is a cake that contains carrots mixed into the batter. The carrot softens in the cooking process, and the cake usually has a soft, dense texture. Carrot Cake can be enjoy as a quick tea time cake. It has a Moist, dense texture. Loaded with the rich taste of cinnamon and a lot of nuts such as raisins and dates.
