Carrot cakes are delicious delights made with a mixture of carrot in the base sponge, to create a delicious cake. The classic carrot cake is made by grating carrot and adding spices such as cinnamon and some contain dried fruit and nuts in the mixture as well but not all do.
Our classic carrot cake is made with grated carrot, cinnamon, walnuts, plump sultanas, free range eggs and a hint of nutmeg make up this rich and juicy sponge. Naturally flavoured vanilla buttercream with crunch walnut pieces on top. We think this combination makes for the best carrot cake with taste and texture.
Our carrot cake is also available in gluten free and vegan options - so everyone can enjoy a beautiful slice of yummy carrot cake!

The History of Carrot Cake
Food historians think that the classic carrot cake we have come to know and love, is actually a descendant of the Medieval carrot puddings from Europe. Carrots were used as a sweetener in desserts when sugar and alternative sweeteners either weren’t available or were too expensive for the majority of society to afford.
It’s hard to pin point exactly when the modern carrot cake first appeared but there are recordings from 1814 for a recipe of “Gâteau de Carottes” by Antione Beauvilliers, the former chef to Louis XVI. It also appeared in the 19th-century as a recipe from the housekeeping school of Kaiseraugst in Switzerland.
