Introduction

Carrot cake is a sweet spice cake with grated carrot mixed into the batter. The carrot softens in the cooking process, and the cake usually has a soft, dense texture. The carrots themselves enhance the flavour, texture and appearance of the cake.

 

 

 

Baking and contents

 

 

 

Deceptively named, carrot cake more closely resembles a quick bread in construction (all the wet ingredients, such as the eggs and sugar, are mixed together, all the dry ingredients are mixed together, and the wet is then added to the dry) and final consistency (which is usually denser than a traditional cake and has a coarser crumb).

Thank you for taking the time to answer my request. I like the idea of using crushed pineapples to replace the table sugar.
