No. 11 - Carrot Walnut Cake from Cedele

Yuan and I have never fancy the American-style carrot cake and so far the ones we have tried are pretty disappointing. Generally rough and hard texture, definitely a far fetch from our favourite chocolate fudge cakes... However, we are trying to convince ourselves to identify our favourite 4 carrot cakes and thus the best reference is the 50 yummiest cakes article where 3 are carrot cake.

Being the most convenient among the featured 3, we have decided to drop by Cedele for their best-selling carrot walnut cake. A slice of carrot walnut cake costs $6 nett and $7.80 for their cake set which comes with a drink.

As described by the 50 yummiest cakes, this is
"Cedele's best-selling carrot cake, finished with cream cheese frosting and untoasted walnuts.
Moist and lightly scented with cinnamon"

She Bakes & She Cooks has a better picture of this cake's cross section.

Believe it or not, this is what I call "love at first bite". The cake is surprisingly light and soft. The best part is that it is not sweet and thus not cloying at all. The slightly sweetened cream cheese just compliments perfectly with the carrot sponge.

The overall texture is refreshing and a slice is definitely not enough for us. For the first time, we couldn't believe American carrot cake can taste this good. I am looking forward to Calender's carrot cake next week.

I am not a fan of carrot cake but this one is really not bad. You can feel a layer of cream cheese and a faint cinnamon smell. As for the sponge, it is dense and moist which is unlike most carrot cakes. Overall, highly recommended.
