Carrot cake is an object of adoration for many Americans. The adoration has gone so far that this dish even has its own holiday - Carrot Cake Day, which is celebrated on February 3. But the history of the pie is not as bright and beautiful as the pie itself. After World War II, there was a shortage of food, especially sugar. But there was a huge supply of canned carrots, which began to be added to baked goods, which made carrot pies very popular.
