Just last week, someone left a note for me saying I’m a “goddess among mortals” for making a carrot cake without raisins.
I’m an overweight 40-year-old man with a beard. She hadn’t seen who made the cake, so she was just making a guess that the baker was a woman, but still. Funny experience.
Who the fuck puts raisins in a carrot cake?
I have honestly never experienced an abomination. Not that there is anything wrong with raisins, but in carrot cake?
The recipe I used actually suggested raisins in the cake and walnuts in the frosting. While I don’t mind either on their own or in other things, carrot cake is supposed to be creamy and smooth. If I wanted crunch or chew, I’d choose…I dunno, german chocolate or something.

This is standard in US-style carrot cakes
Raisins in cinnamon rolls is the true crime

Walnuts on the frosting is fine with me but a lot of the ones from the shops used to put them in the cake - not so good.
I did also leave the walnuts out because my son is allergic, so there’s that. But left to my own devices, I’d rather have the walnuts on the side.
