Carrot cake is a dessert cake that is typically made with grated carrots mixed into the batter, along with other ingredients such as sugar, flour, eggs, baking powder, and spices such as cinnamon and nutmeg. The mixture is then baked in the oven until it is golden brown and firm to the touch.
Carrot cake is often frosted with cream cheese frosting, which is made by mixing cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Some variations of carrot cake may also include ingredients such as raisins, walnuts, or pineapple for added texture and flavor.
Carrot cake can be served as a dessert, often accompanied by a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. It is also sometimes enjoyed as a breakfast or brunch dish.
