Fun Food Holidays™ February 3rd is National Carrot Cake Day

Carrot cake goes way back, to a time when sugar was nearly unheard of and carrots actually were used as a sweetener in baking! A coarse, moist dessert cake, you can boost a carrot cake's sweetness factor by topping it with cream cheese frosting or white sugar icing. This cake's elegant, subtle flavor has earned it a spot among our Fun Food Holidays, National Carrot Cake Day!
