Carrot cakes can be a bit divisive, as can any cake incorporating fruit and vegetables into a cake mix. Some people are simply put off by the idea of fruit or vegetables mixed into a cake batter, others just don’t think the taste or texture is right for them. We on the other hand, absolutely adore a bit veg in our cake, and one of the classics and one of our absolute favourites is the carrot cake.
It is thought by food historians, that the modern carrot cake derived from the Medieval carrot pudding which were enjoyed by people in Europe. Carrot cakes were then popularised in the 20th century as a “healthy alternative” to other desserts. Popularity of the carrot cake really took off during World War II when people were looking for alternatives to sugar, as it was in short supply during rationing. That made carrot cakes the perfect pudding, as the sweetness of the carrots reduced the requirement for sugar in this recipe.
