Bought a carrot cake the other day as I hadn't had one for a while (well, a few weeks..)
It tasted like chemicals.
Just sat looking at the ingrdients and it actually contains only 5% grated carrtot..

Carrot cake is the easiest cake in the world to make yourself. Try delia smiths ultimate carrot cake recipe, it's fantastic. You'll never buy carrot cake again. 7 oz of carrots in that cake.0

It's all about the cake, not the carrot. If you're that interested in carrots buy a bag of them.
95% cake sounds good to me

It's not a cake. You don't put vegetables in cakes. You put them in pies.One important thing to remember is that when you get to the end of this sentence, you'll realise it's just my sig.0

Of course it's only going to be a percentage otherwise it's not going to be a cake. If it was 100% then it would only be a carrot!0

Technically every cake is made from chemicals.
Was there a specific chemical you could taste from it?
