Curiosity
Carrot cake is a fairly versatile dessert, and some people prefer to fill it with cream cheese frosting or opt for a lemon glaze for a touch of freshness. You are free to customize this sweet as you like! However, remember that if you are avoiding eggs for diet or allergy reasons, you should ensure that any other components you add are also egg-free.
