Carrot cake is a moist, warmly spiced dessert made with finely grated carrots that add natural sweetness and tenderness. It’s typically flavored with cinnamon, nutmeg, and sometimes ginger, and often includes mix-ins like chopped nuts, raisins, or pineapple for extra texture and depth. The cake is rich yet balanced, with an earthy sweetness that feels comforting and homemade. It’s most commonly finished with a smooth, tangy cream cheese frosting that perfectly complements the cake’s soft crumb and subtle spice.
