the.com/carrot cake

means A moist spiced cake made with grated carrots, usually layered or topped with cream cheese frosting.

from Carrots have been sneaking into sweets since medieval times, when sugar and honey were costly and cooks leaned on naturally sweet root vegetables to bulk up puddings and cakes. The modern carrot cake got a notable boost in wartime Britain, when sugar rationing pushed cooks back toward carrots as a sweetener, and the government even promoted carrot-based desserts in public campaigns. From there it crossed the Atlantic and, somewhere along the way, picked up its now-inseparable partner: cream cheese frosting.
