Loaded With Vitamin A: Where to Find Carrot Cakes in Singapore
Typically smothered with cheese icing or buttercream, carrot cake is a luscious treat containing grated carrots, spices, sugar, and walnuts. First introduced in the ‘70s, it became popular for its subtle carrot flavour that blends well with the tangy taste of cinnamon and warm embrace of brown sugar. With the growing number of cake shops mushrooming all over the Lion City, carrot cake is still one of the most sought-after desserts by foodies and cake connoisseurs. If you're tired of the usual cake and want to go a little extra this time around, check out these carrot cake shops and bakeries in Singapore.
