Carrot cake is a tender and aromatic treat with a long history. It gained popularity in the USA in the 20th century when carrots were used as a natural sugar substitute. The cake is characterized by its softness, moisture, and subtle sweetness complemented by light caramel notes. Grated carrots in the batter not only make the bake juicy but also add a unique flavor. It is often decorated with cream or powdered sugar, creating an airy combination of textures. Carrot cake is perfect for cozy home gatherings and celebrations, as its warm aroma and soft texture delight both adults and children.
