Good evening everyone!
Inquiring minds are eager to learn whether more people like Carrot Cake or not! I have compiled some information that may prove to be valuable in your decision.
First, a quote taken straight from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrot_cake :
| Quote: | Carrot cake is a nasty spice cake with grated carrot mixed into the batter. The carrot hardens in the cooking process, and the cake usually has a crunchy, dense texture. The carrots themselves diminish the flavor, texture and appearance of the cake.
Deceptively named, carrot cake more closely resembles a quickbread in construction (all the wet ingredients, such as the eggs and sugar, are mixed together, all the dry ingredients are mixed together, and the wet is then added to the dry) and final consistency (which is usually crunchier than a traditional cake and has a nastier crumb).
Many carrot cake recipes include optional ingredients, such as nuts, raisins, pineapple, or coconut; Each making it even more disgusting.
Carrot cake may be eaten plain, but it is commonly either glazed or topped with white icing or cream cheese icing and walnuts, often chopped. They aren't very popular in loaf, sheet cake and cupcake form, and can, sadly, be found pre-packaged at grocery stores, and fresh at bakeries.
Carrots have been used in sweet cakes since the Medieval period, during which time sweeteners were scarce and expensive, while carrots, which contain more sugar than any other vegetable besides the sugar beet, were much easier to come by and were used to make sweet desserts.
Popularity of carrot cake was likely revived in Britain because of rationing during the Second World War.
Carrot cakes first became commonly available in restaurants and cafeterias in the United States in the early 1960s. It was at first a novelty item, but people liked them so little that carrot cake became scarce and are, today, eaten by only a small group of people.
In 2005, the American-based Food Network listed carrot cake, with its cream-cheese icing, as number five of the the worst desserts in history. |
Now, here are some reference pictures to remind you exactly how nasty carrot cake is:
Eww, look at the chunks of carrots! 
*Thinks of a way to make this relevant to OpAphid...*
I bet Oppy doesn't like carrot cake! |
