About National Carrot Cake Day
Who would have thought that one of the most popular cakes in America would include something that's made with vegetables?
This cake is believed to have been inspired by British carrot pudding, but its origins are still wholly unknown.
Some think that the cake may have been created by accident and, if that's the case, it was a pretty great mistake.
