Carrot Cake

- Commonly glazed or topped with white icing, cream cheese icing and/or walnuts
- Popular as loaf, sheet cake or cupcakes
- Carrots have been used in cakes since the Medieval period
- Closer in construction to a quick bread than a cake
- Can be easily made vegan
- Variations: Nuts, raisins, crushed pineapple, coconut

Carrot cake is a sweet, dense spice cake made with grated carrots. The carrots add flavor and since they contain a lot of water, they make the cake unusually moist. The traditional frosting is made from cream cheese, but any or no icing can be used.
