Just last week, someone left a note for me saying I'm a "goddess among mortals" for making a carrot cake without raisins.
I'm an overweight 40-year-old man with a beard. She hadn't seen who made the cake, so she was just making a guess that the baker was a woman, but still. Funny experience.
Who the fuck puts raisins in a carrot cake?
I have honestly never experienced an abomination. Not that there is anything wrong with raisins, but in carrot cake?
The recipe I used actually suggested raisins in the cake and walnuts in the frosting. While I don't mind either on their own or in other things, carrot cake is supposed to be creamy and smooth. If I wanted crunch or chew, I'd choose...I dunno, german chocolate or something.
Oh shit, you are a goddess among mortals! Carrot cake is one of my all time favorites so I keep trying it despite being disappointed every time that someone put raisins in it. It’s just mean.
