About Carrot Cake
Golden Corral Carrot Cake costs from $1.99 by the slice and carries 240 calories. Spiced cake studded with grated carrot, layered and topped with cream cheese frosting, cut thick enough that the frosting to cake ratio actually works.
Carrot cake is the dessert that convinces people who claim they do not want dessert. The spice and the tang of cream cheese frosting read less sweet than chocolate even at similar sugar levels. Take a slice with coffee at the end of a heavy tray. The recipe below makes a two layer cake that holds three days in the refrigerator.
