Hold the Carrot Cake & Pass the Carrots

Calories in Carrot Cake

There is carrot cake....and then there's Sissy Carrot Cake. Sissy Carrot Cake contains no icing, but it does possess an unsavory bland taste as well as a coarse texture due to lack of oil. Sissy Carrot Cake is embedded with fake foods.

That's right - a carrot cake with zero oil, zero cream cheese (the full-blown version, not the sissy-reduced one), no real pineapple tidbits living inside the cake, no real golden raisins, no real grated carrots, no real sugar and no real eggs. Yes, Sissy Carrot Cake is merely a mix of flour, egg substitute, sugar substitute, applesauce (which supposedly takes the place of oil) and ground spices. Now what fun is that?

Now while we've got this Sissy Carrot Cake under the microscope, we might as well compare the Fat Facts with the full-blown tasty carrot cake. And while we're at it, let's toss in nutrition info for the boring old carrot:
