Do you like carrot cake?

Yes, I love carrot cake!
I love it with the cream cheese icing and I used to think it was healthy as it had carrots in it.

However, now that I am conscious of the sugar I eat, I realise if there WAS anything healthy by using carrots, this is outdone by all the sugar that goes both into this cake, and also into the icing...

Unfortunately, it is another thing I no longer eat - sad!

Death by carrot cake :((( Sad, sad, pair. Yes, you are right.

I do love Carrot Cake.

With or without icing.. I don't mind..

I do Iove carrot cake! Probably like most people it's the cream cheese icing I love best.

I like using a healthier recipe with walnuts and sultanas in it and loads of carrot.

Yes, I love carrot cake. My mother in law used to make delicious carrot cake and banana cake. Since she died last year, I haven't had any. I just don't eat a lot of cake or biscuits at any time. I'm glad that it is something that I am able to say 'No ' to, if offered it.

by Lluxi

I like it with cream cheese topping.

by dwatk

Yes, but I never eat it. I can't even remember the last time I did.That cream cheese icing is altogether TOO good . . !!

you and me both---we are a sad pair!!

Rice, I'd rather die...by tiramisu cake!!!

I LOVE Carrot Cake, but it really has to be made well.The icing has to be on 'par' too.
If I'm having the calories...they better be killers :)

Too right, jonaj! I've you're going to have something "naughty", I say you must do it properly!

Exactly....I'm a bit of a snob when it come to cake!...I guess because 30 years ago, cake shops were an important part of Aussie life...Even further back too.,
People would be able to find wonderful cake shops, and esp each Saturday...was the big treat day for most families.Now, well it's pretty sad.
You can't find good cake shops much now.

I blame Margaret Woodcraft. Her cakes are in every cafe, club, shopping centre and coffee shop we go to. It isn't a pleasure meeting anywhere for coffee and catch up any more as nobody has a decent home made cake :((

That's very interesting info....I know what you mean, same old-same!!

I agree jonaj, were sooooo many lovely cake shops. Now everything you get in shopping malls, shopping strips and even cake shops with same old fashioned facade, are all mass produced in a factory somewhere. I remember Saturdays too and beautiful things like apple turnovers with fresh cream, cream buns, chocolate eclairs with dark glossy ganache and fresh cream, baked custard tarts, matchsticks, lemon meringues blah blah blah. Now they are all solid, sweet rubbish, straight out of a fridge.

Indeed fran.....what lovely memories :)

I like carrot cake icing!

by Vee

Yes I really like carrot cake.

by AJ

Yes and with the cream cheese icing too!
Although, I do need to be careful and take care of
my health. A small piece is a nice treat.

No!!! I absolutely and utterly LOVE a good carrot cake!! In fact I have just finished one which I bought when I was out on the weekend!! YUM! Living alone,I did not have to share a single crumb! Hee hee hee hee!!!!!

by Jules

I love carrot cake,and I also have a good recepei for one, I don't make it as often as I used to.

by Diana Nairn

Yes I like carrot cake, but I now find the icing over sweet. I haven't eaten any for a couple of years. There's other cakes I like better. The last 2 I bought were a chocolate 1 & a salted caramel 1. I think I'd now stick to chocolate cakes if I have to buy another cake. I'd bought those 2 for our birthdays, earlier this year.

by Miro

oooh, yes, miro_, tiramisu is lovely.

Yes I do. Like Finy I love the cream cheese icing, but I avoid this type of food nowadays.
I let myself have cake very rarely - on my birthday and sometimes when it would cause offence not to. I missed having any last birthday, so I may just shout myself a slice of carrot cake and a cuppa somewhere soon...

by annfi

Love it. Baked it last week with the grandies. I only use cream cheese icing.Yum

by njsan

I definitely do like carrot cake. The cream cheese icing is a bonus. I like carrot cake, both the fairly plain type and ones that have added sultanas, walnuts etc. Just thinking about it makes my mouth water.

by Marie Vonow

No matter how hard I try, I just can't seem to 'take' to this cake type!

Give me a Chocolate cake, with matching icing every time!

by donjo

yes i do like carrot cake without any types of nuts in it, I am not allergic to nuts just dislike them.

by flaga

by jenni

Love it, but I'm the only one in my family who does like it. I either need to commit to eating the whole thing or going without

by Belinda
