This dessert deserves an honorable mention
There is something about carrots. Maybe it's the allure created from childhood cartoons with rabbits, but we just can't seem to get enough of them -- even in our dessert. Carrot cake –based on the ingredients-- actually resembles a quick bread or tea bread. Think zucchini bread or banana bread. Cooks add grated carrot to the batter and bake until the carrots are tender and the cake rises. The carrot’s taste adds a flavor that is a unique experience for cake lovers. Carrot cake is often served frosted with cream cheese icing. Some recipes call for nuts, raisins, or pineapple chunks. There are cake recipes dating back to the Middle Ages that contain carrots because of its natural sweetening properties. Do you like carrot cake?
