Carrot Cake

EverydaySweetened

Carrot cake is a sweetened dessert cake characterized by its moist, dense texture and warm spice blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. The signature shredded carrots contribute natural sweetness and beta-carotene while reducing the need for excessive added sugars compared to some cakes. Traditional versions often include cream cheese frosting and mix-ins like walnuts or raisins, adding protein and healthy fats but increasing calorie density. This baked good provides modest fiber content from its vegetable base, though portion control remains important due to typical sugar and fat levels.
