Fact: Carrot Cake Has a Place in History
Food isn’t just a staple of modern society, but it’s something we need in order to live. Food has been a part of humanity throughout its history, and every couple of decades (or more), it changes and takes on different forms. What we eat today is quite different than what human beings ate a hundred years ago, or two hundred years ago.
Carrot cake has been around for a long time, and while it also changed a bit over time, it still as delicious as it’s always been. In 1783, George Washington and his troops celebrated British Evacuation Day at the Fraunces Tavern in New York, and in lieu of the celebration, they had carrot cake. It wasn’t the frosted one we’re usually served today, rather unfrosted tea cake.
