Carrot cake is an absolute classic, but that doesn't stop it from being one of our (many) favourites here at Berkson Bakes. Our version is packed with freshly grated carrot, providing a beautifully moist sponge, and pieces of walnut scattered throughout give a pleasing crunch. [These can be replaced with glacé ginger for a nut-free version.] A carrot cake wouldn't be complete without a generous dose of cinnamon, so rest assured that's in there too. The two layers of sponge are sandwiched together and topped with possibly the creamiest cream cheese icing you might ever taste, then decorated with walnut pieces. Winner winner, carrot cake for dinner!

The cake went down an absolute storm at the weekend! Thank you so so much! Everything about it was perfect! (I know people don’t like the word “moist” but it was just so deliciously moist!)
Anyway, just to say, people were blown away that it was gluten-free.
It was delicious (as was the cream!).
We wanted to let you know your cake tasted delicious!! We were delighted with how flavoursome it was yet light to digest being gluten-free and having dairy-free icing. Beautifully presented too!
My sister ordered this for me as a surprise for my birthday when we were in lockdown, and it was the best carrot cake I've ever had!
Thank you so much for making and delivering my sister's dairy-free carrot cake. She said it tasted delicious and it looked fabulous
Absolutely delicious gorgeous carrot cake! A fantastic birthday surprise, thank you! Will be recommending Berkson Bakes everywhere.
