Carrot cake, compared

Make a table

Carrot cake is wetter than most cakes before it goes in the oven, and the recipes compensate differently — some with more flour, some with a lower temperature and a longer bake. The temperatures below cluster tightly and the times don't, which is the sign of a bake where tin size is doing most of the work.

11 recipes in the library match this dish. Every figure is one the recipe itself stated; where a recipe said nothing, the cell is empty rather than filled in. Each row links to its table, and every table credits and links its source.
