Carrot Cake Supreme

Carrot Cake Supreme is loaded with carrots, crushed pineapple, raisins (optional) and pecans or walnuts! This cake is for those who love their cakes stuffed with goodies. Actually, this could be considered a distant cousin of a fruitcake.

Carrot Cake Supreme

Carrot cake is a type of cake that is made primarily with grated carrots, which add moisture and sweetness to the cake. The cake includes ingredients such as flour, sugar, eggs, baking powder (or soda), oil, and spices like cinnamon and nutmeg. Our version incorporates nuts (like walnuts or pecans), raisins, or pineapple for additional flavor and texture.

Carrot Cake Supreme  is frosted with cream cheese frosting, which complements the flavors of the cake and adds a rich, tangy sweetness. It is a popular dessert,  and it can be enjoyed on various occasions, including birthdays and holidays. I sometimes take it as a hostess gift when having dinner at a friend’s house.
