Carrot cake

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.

Carrot cake - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend instead of all-purpose flour for a gluten-free version. Ensure the blend contains xanthan gum or add 1/2 tsp per cup of flour for better texture.
Store leftover carrot cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. The cream topping should always be refrigerated to maintain freshness.
Yes! Replace butter with coconut oil or vegan butter, and use a plant-based cream (like coconut cream) whipped with sugar for the topping. For eggs, try flax eggs (1 tbsp ground flaxseed + 3 tbsp water per egg).
For tender cake texture, finely grate the carrots. A coarse grate will add more texture but may result in slightly denser bites.
Absolutely! Wrap the cooled cake tightly in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge and add fresh cream before serving.
Tent the cake loosely with aluminum foil halfway through baking to prevent over-browning while ensuring the center cooks through.
Yes! Fold in 1/2 cup raisins (soaked in warm water first) or drained crushed pineapple for extra moisture and flavor. Adjust sugar slightly if pineapple is sweetened.
Insert a toothpick into the center—if it comes out clean or with just a few crumbs (no wet batter), it’s done. The edges should also pull slightly from the pan.
