Crazy for Carrot Cake

Let's give a warm welcome to the latest addition in our Dessert Bar at Mama's Gelato & Pizzeria: Carrot & Walnut Cake w/ Cream Cheese Frosting. 


Yes, carrot cake actually hails from Britain not Italy, but, hey, we don't discriminate against anything that tastes sweet and yummy. Better yet carrot cake is considered a healthier option to the traditional fruit cake because it uses fresh ingredients as opposed to dry ones.

Here are our top 3 (three) reasons why you should share our love for it:
1) Carrots are good source of vitamin A/beta carotene, which is an anti-oxidant and helps prevent cell degeneration. They're also good for the skin and not to mention your vision!
2) Walnuts are an excellent source of protein and packed with fiber, Vitamin B and E. These wonderful walnuts are also filled with omega 3 fatty acids, which are known to lower LDL (bad) cholesterol. 
3) We use vegetable oil, not butter, in our cake batter. Research shows that soy bean oil is low in saturated fat and contains no trans fat, which means it benefits those with heart disease. It is also rich in antioxidants and Vitamin E.


So, what are you waiting for? Now you know why we're crazy for carrot cake. It's guilt-free dessert at your fingertips!
