A favourite for many, the best carrot cake in Toronto is everything a cake should be -- sweet but not overly so, moist with a rich flavour and brightly tangy with a cream cheese frosting. Under the disguise of a "healthy" dessert option, the bountiful amount of shredded carrots is what makes this traditional cake so unique. There are plenty of options when hunting down a delicious slice of carrot cake in the city. Whether you like additional mix-ins like roasted nuts or dried fruits or are looking for a more modern take with a cinnamon crumb or in bundt-style form -- there is a carrot cake suited for all preferences.
Here is a list of the best carrot cake in Toronto.
