Carrot cake is superior to banana bread

[BoomerD]

Add a shitload of frosting to anything and it suddenly becomes cake?

Thanks wikipedia.

Banana cake > carrot bread.

Carrot came is vastly inferior to banana bread for several reasons, not the least of which is that cream cheese frosting is gross.

But what about banana nut bread?

Never had Grandma's banana bread that didn't also have nuts. The nuts were the key.

Yawn, I would eat both of them. I thought about making a nut loaf after I watched a video about it.

Do it. You won't regret it. Just use very ripe bananas.

SOOOO good! Grandma will send down her blessings on you.

Nuts go in carrot cake as well and taste better in carrot cake than in banana bread because carrot cake is superior to banana bread. It cannot be denied.

Preach it, brother wing...

ISSSSHHHHH. I like carrots, but carrot cake? Good... for me to poop on.

Banana bread is quite excellent.

Usually, Carrot Cake is better than banana bread, but, the frosted banana bread my grandma makes is more or less better than everything else.

Corn bread you filthy heathen savages.

Corn bread is good but is a totally different thing. Corn bread should never be sweet. Just had corn bread with sausage gravy and pork roast the other night. Mmm.

I'm partial to combining it with chili. I was thinking of whipping up another batch of Chili Colorado soon, maybe i should make some corn bread to go with it.

I like both but carrot cake is my favorite.

Its possible that the carrot cake's true job is to hold up the cream cheese frosting while offering contrasting textures and only mild sweetness though. Cream cheese frosting King of all frostings.

Fondant is the plague infested beggar of all frostings btw. Literally worse than no frosting.

I think a few things need to be clarified in this thread.

Concerning banana bread: Good or bad, the whole point of banana bread is to get rid of overripe bananas. I mean what else are you going to do with the nasty things? The utility of banana bread should be considered.

Concerning carrot cake: I am sure the OP meant to specify that cream-cheese icing is superior to any other, and its usage gives carrot cake an overwhelming, unfair advantage that threatens to make any comparison of other vegetable, or fruit based baked good unfair. I mean even zucchini bread would be good with cream-cheese icing on it.

 

[snoopy7548]

What about banana bread with some warm honey drizzled on top?

 

[GoodRevrnd]

Wait, I just realized we need a critical factor clarified: does the carrot cake have raisins in it?

 

[whm1974]

What about nut loaf? No one arguing that nut loaf is superior to corn and banana breads and carrot cake?

This post is astonishingly precise with the truth that is contained within.

Carrot cake is an abomination towards cakes. I'm not sure what kind of famine the poor fuckers who invented the carrot cake were going through but it must have been brutal for them to look at a bunch of carrots and think "hey, that would be pretty tasty in a cake". How it has lived on while we are in non-famine times is beyond me. Carrots have no place in a freaking cake!!!!

As someone who enjoys eating Carrot Cake I strongly disagree with you.

I'm not sure I've ever actually tasted the carrots in carrot cake. Usually it's just some kind of sweet spice cake with very sweet vanilla icing. Nutmeg, cinnamon, allspice, with some very finely shredded carrot tossed in for no apparent reason. It may change the texture a little, but it's mostly needless.

Reduce or eliminate the need to use sugar? And besides carrots are delicious.
