A Brief History of Carrot Cake:
While the exact origins are uncertain, many historians believe carrot cake evolved from medieval carrot puddings. During the Middle Ages, when sweeteners were expensive and hard to come by, carrots were often used to naturally sweeten dishes. Over time, these recipes evolved into the various spiced cakes and puddings we enjoy today (Source: Wikipedia).
