Carrot Cake

The comic strip, Breaking Cat News, is about Carrot Cake today!

I have not baked one in a long time. The discussions on the strip suggest people who like carrot cake have definite ideas what it should include. Mine does not include raisins or pineapple, but I do include walnuts.

Spread the word

It's not true that it takes 30 carrots to make 2/3 cup of grated carrots, but it FEELS true. Actually it takes 2 carrots and 2 bandaids if you use a box grater.

These days I put carrots in the juicer (for making carrot vinegar) and use the pulp for carrot cake, freezing most of it. It's quite fine so the cake is smoother, though you still get most of the carrot crunch, just not as many carrot pieces stuck between your teeth.

I like raisins in carrot cake but not nuts.

I haven't baked one in along time also don't put raisins or pineapple and if I use pecans they go only in icing.

I made a carrot cake about a month ago - love carrot cake, with or without pineapple, raisins, nuts. It's all about the carrots, and the cream cheese frosting takes it over the top!

Too often bakery carrot cake has coconut in it, which my wife cannot stand. (If I buy Almond Joy bars, I don't have to hide them.)
