Quick facts about carrot cake

Carrots have been used in cakes since the middle-ages, when sugar and other sweeteners were expensive and hard to come by. Carrot cake more or less disappeared from the history books until the 2nd World War, when it became popular again – probably again due to lack of regular sugar.

In America, carrot cake wasn’t served in restaurants until the 1960’s. It was seen then as a strange phenomenon. But now carrot cake is a favourite in the USA, Great Britain and in many other countries.
