gardening momma Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 I haven't read through all the replies, but my first thought was :ack2:. Suffice it to say I would not be purchasing a carrot cake!:lol:My thought was--I'd expect it to contain all sorts of icky stuff--carrots, raisins, nuts.... So I wouldn't buy it. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
In the Rain Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Absolutely :001_smile:! I would also expect it to have walnuts- which I don't like. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UmMusa Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 I would not expect it to have raisins mostly b/c the one I make does not have raisins or pineapple or nuts or seeds... however I WOULD double check the ingredients b/c I know some people make them with those extras.

chickenpatty Posted May 15, 2011 Author Share Posted May 15, 2011 LOL, I'd expect it, but would never buy a carrot cake because I'm the only one in my family who would eat it! I'm working on a recipe for my bakery - and thanks to all these responses, I think I'll only add raisins if requested. Ha, I don't think I've ever gotten so many responses to a post! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawn in OH Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 I have never had carrot cake with raisins. I had no idea anyone puts raisins in carrot cake. If I purchased one with raisins (prior to today) I would have been quite surprised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romeacademy Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 I haven't read all the post, but in looking at carrot cake recipes w/ dd, it seems that there are two definite viewpoints. Carrots only, and throw it all in. I personally am in the all in camp when I make it - raisins, pecans, coconut, and pineapple with cream cheese frosting. It I buy it I at least expect raisins and pecans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clementine Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 I wouldn't be surprised if it did, but I would HOPE it didn't. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ondreeuh Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Nope. I've never had raisins in my carrot cake. Ever. That sounds more like a raisin spice cake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRG Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 I've never heard of raisins or pineapple being in a carrot cake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennyD Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Yes, I would expect to have raisins. Which is why generally I don't buy carrot cake -- I detest cooked raisins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audrey Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 No. I would be confused if it had raisins. Carrot cake doesn't have raisins, IME. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audrey Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 I've never heard of raisins or pineapple being in a carrot cake. Me either. :confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abigail4476 Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 No...because I hate raisins, and never put them in carrot cake. Or anything else. :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amy in NH Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Yuck! No. Eeewww! Phooey! Pth, Pth, Pth! I don't expect anything in my carrot cake except carrot cake. With cream cheese frosting on top. If it has raisins, nuts, or coconut, I will return it. (and I do like nuts, but not in my carrot cake) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha, I don't think I've ever gotten so many responses to a post! :D You'll have ingredient labels on your baked goods, right? Just thinking of the pineapple (don't know if you put that in). My sister's allergic to it, and I can only eat a couple of pieces of it before my throat starts to itch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamom Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Coconut is a new idea for me, but I would not be surprised to find raisins in a carrot cake. Carrot cake would be yummy either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrothead Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 No, I wouldn't expect raisins in a carrot cake. I wouldn't be surprised to find raisins in a carrot cake though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LifeLovePassion Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 expect them? no be surprised if they were there? no Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LidiyaDawn Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 No. I would be confused if it had raisins. Carrot cake doesn't have raisins, IME. :iagree: No raisins… and preferably no nuts. Cream cheese icing. YUM. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BatmansWife Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 I would like it to have raisins. But, I would think if someone else made it that it wouldn't (most carrot cakes I've seen don't have raisins...but if I made it then there would be raisins). Yummmmm.....:001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
