Carrot cake is made from carrots

The recipe was devised during WW2 to alleviate a shortage of flour

Surprisingly it was very effective and popular

If vegetable oil is made from vegetables and olive oil is made from olives then where does baby oil come from?

Carrot cake took off here as a result of everyone eating it in Neighbours. Same for Smoothies. And Kylie.

@Jack Hacksaw -- carrots are very sweet so some people think carrot cake is healthy as there is less sugar. It is not an ordinary cake that tastes of carrots.

not really, no. the carrots are virtually irrelevant to the taste. the carrot cake i bought yesterday has more sugar in than carrots. be more accurate to call it sugar cake.
